Application

There is no special form of application that must be used.

Nevertheless, the following requirements should be met:

The application must be in writing, should not be more than two pages in length, but should contain the following information:

Particulars of the your organisation
A description of the program or project for which a grant is sought, why it warrants support and when the funds are needed and likely to be expended
Whether any funding request has been made to other funding bodies
Identifying one or more of the Designated Purposes of the Fund under which funding might be made.

The application should be accompanied by attachments:

Your certificate of incorporation or similar certificate
Your most recent Annual Report or if none exists the minutes of your most recent AGM
Your most recent audited Financial Statements
Evidence from the Australian Taxation Office that you are either tax-exempt or have deductible gift recipient status, where support from Funds 1,6 or 7 is sought.

Do not submit other material such as DVDs, CDs or videos. Do not submit your application in spiral binding, a ring folder or other plastic casing. Paperclips, bulldog clips or staples will suffice.

If funding has been provided in the immediately preceding year, a report is required as part of the application process. (refer "Grant Conditions")

N.B. Please note that the closing date for Distribution applications for 2013 and thereafter will be 30 June, not 30 September.
