Funding
Tips
The more organisations involved in your proposal and/or supporting
your proposal the better your chances are of success when it comes
to funding. Think about; Relevant partners for your project; letters
of support; other organisations that may be able to offer in-kind
support...You can also think about organisations at a regional level
as well as local. Having your local council on side can often make
a difference. |

your ideas into action. It recognizes that strong communities need
to have: strong leaders; skills and knowledge; partnerships between
different sectors, such as governments, businesses and community groups;

The community based projects can be built up from five linked initiatives
which aim to: create a stronger families fund - to encourage communities
to find new ways to strengthen families, with a focus on early childhood
development and effective parenting; Increase Early Intervention,
Parenting and Family Relationship Support; nurture potential leaders
in local communities; support local solutions to local problems and
promote the 'can do' community initiative. Projects may also link
with the celebrations of the International Year of Volunteers and
the National Volunteers Skills Development Program.
It is a community based approach to strengthening
families and communities. Phone a toll free number 1800 300 125 please
contact and ask for a guide or talk to someone about your ideas and
how they might fit in to this Strategy, or if you are hearing impaired
