Strengthening Community Service Delivery

Strengthening Community Service Delivery grants have been developed to add value to the various not-for-profit community services available to the Western Australian Community. They recognise the critical role played by community services in helping to improve the quality of life for our citizens.

Priority for these grants is given to:

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

Universities

Universities are able to apply for a Lotterywest grant towards the cost of a charitable or benevolent purpose, such as a social research project or other special initiative. Applications need to demonstrate the community benefit that will result from the grant and why the university is the most appropriate applicant.

Requests towards core educational activities will not be supported, as it is considered that these activities are the policy and funding responsibility of other authorities.

Please contact us to discuss your proposal prior to completing an application form.

Student Guilds

Lotterywest may support university, TAFE and other higher education student guilds where the request is for an activity that will broadly benefit the student population (and broader community where possible).

Projects should:

• Be available to the whole student campus population, not only guild members
• Involve either no charge or a low charge
• Provide a service or an activity that is not the responsibility of the education institution and is not available elsewhere
• Not be income generating and
• Not be related to the core organisational need of the guild

Please contact us to discuss your proposal prior to completing an application form.
