- Communities learn and share innovative ways to build drought resilience;
- An increase in the reach and activities of community leaders, mentors, networks, and organisations driving action on drought resilience;
- Improved access to and greater utilisation of community infrastructure;
- Communities build their local leadership, networks, and social support; and
- Community leaders, networks and organisations have stronger capability to undertake strategic drought resilience planning.
To help not for profits access this funding we have provided the following resources:

Please share the information with community organisations and leaders who you think can contribute or submit a project. We have between $200K and $500K for the Eyre Peninsula.
This is a tight timeframe and our next session working with interested project leads will be held virtually on Wednesday 16th August. To access funding, a member of the community group must attend.
Councils can also work with local community groups to access this funding.
