Community Grant Program

Supporting community, education and research projects that create positive value and a better digital future for Australians.

The Community Grant Program aims to enhance the utility of the internet for the benefit of the Australian community.

It delivers an annual grant round open to not-for-profit organisations and research institutions for community projects, education and research activities that unlock positive economic and social value for Australians through the internet.

The program supports digital innovation and inclusion, focussed on the following groups within the Australian community:

  • Rural, regional, and remote Australians
  • Australians living with disability
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
  • Older Australians (65+ years)
  • Young Australians (12-24 years).

The grants delivered through the Community Grant Program are funded by the auDA Foundation.
