Funding Information

Organisations are eligible to submit only one successful grant application each year. Exceptions to this rule can be made at the discretion of the Grants Committee (for grants up to $50,000) or the Board (for grants over $50,000). This restriction does not apply to local or regional bodies submitting applications where a national organisation has already received a successful grant.

For grants exceeding $50,000, Youthtown Inc. may require the recipient to provide evidence demonstrating the community benefit generated by the granted funds.
