Preparing Community Service Organisations for Climate Change Grant Pilot

Incomplete applications and/or applications received after the closing date, 5pm Wednesday 7 May 2025 will not be considered.

Grant selections will be made so that they enable testing of the effectiveness of the program to build organisational capacity to identify and assess climate risks and adapt to climate change. As such, CSOs with different characteristics will be chosen to provide a representative selection of applicants that provide a range of critical services to various cohorts of people with priority needs. If selected CSOs deliver to similar or the same cohorts, they will be actively encouraged to collaborate in developing their climate risk management and adaptation plans. ACTCOSS will help to facilitate such collaboration.

Selection will be made based on:

Meeting all eligibility criteria (see Section 2.3 of the Grant Guidelines)
Organisational details
Attendance at adaptation toolkit workshops previously held by EPSDD to co-design the toolkit will be viewed favourably, but this will not preclude funding of other CSOs.

Applicants will not be selected on any additional merit/selection criteria.

If you have any questions please contact us via EPSDDAdaptationandResiliencePolicy@act.gov.au. Please include a phone contact in your email.
