Men as Role Models for Preventing Violence against Women and their Children
I was so pleased to see the release of this grant program from the Australian Government. Violence against women and children is such a prevalent issue across Australia, which is wrong on so many levels. We need more substantial funding in this area; the volume of interest from The Grants Hub’s members in this grant opportunity reiterates the need. I can’t wait to see which organisations and projects get funded through this program - and then track their outcomes.
The grant itself will invest in innovative primary prevention projects that promote Men as Role Models for Preventing Violence against Women and their Children, focused on changing the social conditions that excuse, justify, or promote violence against women and their children.
Activities will involve men to challenge the underlying social, economic and political conditions, as well as historical and cultural factors that allow violence‑supportive attitudes and behaviours to thrive.
Preference will be given to applications that demonstrate existing strong relationships with their target groups or communities, or partnerships with organisations representing those groups or communities.
A total of $2.472 million is available (across 2019-20 to 2021-22), with individual grants ranging from $750,000 to $900,000 over three years.
Applications close 24 September 2019.
Tip: If you’re familiar with Federal Government grant applications, you won’t need me to remind you that they are significant pieces of work. Pace yourself, plan ahead, and check out my tips for writing big applications.

Stronger Communities Programme
The Stronger Communities Programme is delivered by the Australian Government. The program funds small capital projects that improve local community participation and contribute to vibrant viable communities.
There are various steps to the program, with each electorate receiving $150,000 (a total of $22.65 million will be granted across Australia). Each electorate then manages their own application process. In short, contact your local electorate for specific information about grants in your area.
Regardless of which electorate you are in, community consultation is a critical element of the program, and $2,500 - $20,000 grants can fund up to 50% of eligible project costs.
Generally speaking, applications close 10 October 2019. However, you MUST check the closing date in your local electorate.
