$3.5 million to Salute Their Service in 2022-23
From today, ex-service and community organisations across the country can apply for a share in $3.5 million in grants for commemorative projects with the launch of the Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants Program for 2022-23.
Assessment of applications will be divided into three batches:
- applications submitted between 9 February and 9 June 2022;
- applications submitted between 10 June and 11 October 2022; and
- applications submitted between 12 October 2022 and 7 February 2023.
This will allow organisations to apply for multiple grants throughout the year.
The Saluting Their Service Program provides funding to commemorate the service and sacrifice of Australia’s service personnel during wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.
Community Grants of up to $10,000 are available for community-based commemorative projects and activities, while Major Grants of up to $150,000 are available for initiatives that are significant from a national, state, territory or regional perspective.
Funding is available to support a wide range of projects, including new memorials, restoration of existing memorials, exhibitions, digital projects such as podcasts and documentaries, and publications.
