Upgrade the outdoor area at your school with the Local Schools Community Fund

Did you know that if you are a school looking to upgrade your facilities you can apply for funding of your project at the Local Schools Community Fund? The fund is open to government, independent and catholic schools nationwide and each electorate has up to $200,000 allocated to this funding.

 

Who can apply?

Any school throughout Australia

What projects are eligible?

The $30.2 million funding has been set aside to assist schools with small projects. Each school campus can apply for projects estimated to cost between $1,000 and $20,000. This includes school infrastructure projects such as playground upgrades, shades, outdoor furniture and equipment updates, landscaping and creating outdoor learning areas. It also can be used for other initiatives such as indoor classroom upgrades, excursions, support services and air-conditioning.

How many projects can a school apply for?

Each school can apply for only one project.

What to include in the project application?

Applications should fully outline who benefits from the project, how it demonstrates value for money and if the project would be possible should funding not be successful. Full details and support for applying for funding can be found on the Australian Government Department of Education website
