Introduction

The Anzac Community Grants Program (ACGP) provides grants of up to $3,000 for a range of projects that either promote appreciation and understanding of the service and sacrifice of military service personnel or support activities and services to enhance the wellbeing of the NSW veteran community. The program is proudly delivered by the NSW Office for Veterans Affairs (OVA). 

Before starting your application

  • Please read and understand the Program Guidelines, which contain important information about the ACGP. It includes an overview of the program, information about the application process, the eligibility and assessment criteria, how the funds can and cannot be used and information for successful applicants.
  • Obtain your supporting documents, as outlined in the Program Guidelines.
  • Preview the full application form using the ‘Preview’ button in SmartyGrants, to familiarise yourself with the questions and the format. You may also find it useful to prepare your answers in a word processing program first, before completing this form in SmartyGrants.

Funding amounts

The ACGP is valued at $100,000 annually. 

The maximum ACGP grant that will be awarded for any one application will be $3,000 (excl. GST).

Please be aware

  • Grant rounds are generally oversubscribed and not all applications are successful. Even if your application is successful, you may not be awarded the entire amount you requested. It may be helpful if you can secure other sources of funding to support your ACGP application. These are often referred to as co-contributions. The Assessment Committee may consider your application favourably if you have secured co-contributions, as this demonstrates your project has strong support. You will be asked about co-contributions in this application form. 

Contact OVA

Please email OVA for further information about the ACGP or with questions about your project at veteransgrants@veterans.nsw.gov.au.
