In 2025, grants are being offered to initiatives which bring greater community understanding of working in unity with nature, not against it. Projects which demonstrate a practical and respectful use of Indigenous knowledge are encouraged.

Grants of up to $5,000 are available for projects that:

• Contribute to building strong and resilient communities, especially in areas affected by extreme weather events.
• Build unity and find common grounds of understanding and shared knowledge across an initiative. Encourage partnerships amongst individuals, groups and/or organisations.
• Foster engagement, diversity and cultural connections by sharing knowledge and skills in local community-based programs/events.
• Support intergenerational and Indigenous/Non-Indigenous exchanges of knowledge and skills for the sustainable and/or regenerative management of the land. 
• Provide opportunities for program participants to develop leadership or other personal and community-building skills.
