Many grant opportunities are available to businesses, community organisations and not-for-profit groups and individuals across Indi.

Knowing where to start and what to look for is the key. I’ve worked with successful grant recipients in my North East Victorian communities and grant experts to develop a range of How-to guides and video resources to step you through the process.

Used together, these tools are designed to help you, or your organisation find the right grant and make a thorough application.
