SSC Grants Program

The Supporting Stronger Communities (SSC) grant program gives Neighbourhood and Community Centres the opportunity to access grants of up to $10,000 to target poverty and disadvantage in their local communities.

This grant program is offered through a partnership between the Sidney Myer Fund and the Australian Neighbourhood Houses and Centres Association (ANHCA).

It is available to all Metropolitan Neighbourhood & Community Centres as well as those located within towns with a population above 15,000 people who are members of their state peak bodies:

Other local community groups and organisations are also able to apply by forming a partnership with their local Neighbourhood or Community Centre.

The grants will take place across 3 rounds in 2022

Round 9 of the Supporting Stronger Communities grant program is currently open and closes on the 10th of March at 3pm (AEST).
