Innovation and ideas grant

Our funding will prioritise innovative projects that contribute to making Sydney a city:

• that is a leading environmental performer
• that is equitable and inclusive
• with resilient and diverse communities
• with a thriving cultural and creative life
• with a transformed and innovative economy.

We encourage applications from organisations, groups and individuals that support Aboriginal and Torres and Strait Islander communities and culture, including Aboriginal community-controlled organisations and networks.

Proposals are assessed against:

• evidence of the need for the project and proposed outcomes
• capacity and experience of the applicant to deliver the project
• demonstrated connection and benefit to the local area and communities
• evidence of diversity, inclusion and equity in the planning and delivery of the project
• how the project delivers against the funding priorities.
