Environmental Sustainability Grants

Grant Description

The Environmental Sustainability Grants 2025–26 provide competitive funding of up to $10,000 per application (total pool $70,000) to initiate, develop and deliver projects that enhance the natural environment across the Geelong region. Intended beneficiaries include incorporated not-for-profit organisations, unincorporated community groups with an auspice, registered charities, and schools/learning institutions (for non-curriculum activities with a wider community benefit). Key focus areas align to the City’s Environment Strategy 2020–30: becoming a zero-emission, climate-ready city; creating greener community spaces; protecting, enhancing and restoring regional biodiversity; and achieving better integrated water management through planning and design.
