The Believer's Grant Program offers funding for groups or organisations working to unleash young people's creativity.

Your project should connect young people with their creativity and we mean this in the broadest sense of he word. Artists are creative, but so are scientists, debaters, community builders and dancers. Creativity is in all of us, it is our birthright and your project can be anything from a summer camp to a robotics competition to a co-working holiday house for artists.

Believers is open year-round, and EOIs and applications will close when either all funds have been disbursed or when the FY27 period ends on June 30, 2027 - whichever comes first. We review and progress EOIs on a rolling basis. Expressions of interest for Believers Fund III will open on June 30, 2026.

Projects need to meet the following criteria: 

• The organisation or group must be based in Australia, and the proposed project must take place in Australia 
• The beneficiaries and/or participants of the proposed project must be primarily young people under 25 years old 
• The proposed project must be completed in the next 12 months
• The organisation or group must be registered in Australia and possess an ABN (or you must be auspiced under an ACNC registered organisation). You do not need to have DGR status.
