The Kangaroo Island Landscape Board is pleased to offer Grassroots Grants to individuals, community groups and other not-for-profit organisations to help them achieve activities to benefit the Kangaroo Island environment and community.

Types of projects that may be funded:

• Revegetation
• Seed collection & propagation
• Controlling access
• Habitat creation/enhancement
• Erosion management
• Sustainable agriculture
• Community engagement
• Education activities
• Communication materials
• Controlling weeds

The total amount of funding available in the program for 2026-27 is $62,000. Applicants can apply for between $1,000 and $8,000 (+ GST) for their project.

Projects must contribute to one or more of the Board's regional priorities and focus areas outlined in the draft Kangaroo Island Landscape Plan 2026-31.

Applicants must either be a legal entity (e.g. an incorporated association, individual, partnership, corporation/company) or be sponsored by a legal entity. If a sponsor is used, the sponsor will enter into the grant agreement and be responsible for managing the funding on the applicant's behalf.

If the applicant is not a resident or ratepayer on Kangaroo Island, they must provide a letter of support from a Kangaroo Island organisation stating how their project will directly benefit the Kangaroo Island community, or an invitation from a KI-based organisation to undertake a project on behalf of the community.

Special consideration will be given to projects that engage with First Nations people. For projects which include First Nations involvement or outcomes, applications should demonstrate that the relevant Nation has been consulted prior to grant submission, involved in the project design and agreed to participate in the project.

Projects must be undertaken on Kangaroo Island.
