Overview

Strengthening Community Service Delivery

Lotterywest provides a range of grants to not-for-profit community service organisations to strengthen the services available to the Western Australian community. This grant area recognises the critical role played by community services in helping improve the quality of life for our citizens.

Priority for grants is given to:

• Organisations that provide support to disadvantaged people or groups and
• Proposals that will provide a broad community benefit

Grants may be provided for:

• The cost of equipment, information technology, vehicles, service accommodation and to provide a small grant to assist existing, new or developing organisations, and
• Projects for service development or new service initiatives (these can include time limited salaries and operating costs)

Go to the Broad Grant Types Overview for more information on application requirements for these types of grants.
