Key highlights in the 2022–23 budget for community groups and economy recovery include:

• $100 million for a new Economic Recovery Fund to provide business grants that promote economic growth and development opportunities in South Australia
• $68.1 million over four years to fund local community infrastructure projects
• $16 million to fund multicultural events and initiatives
• $8 million over four years to boost funding to artists and arts organisations
• $7.5 million for the Port Pirie Greening program
• $7.5 million for child protection grants, including $4 million for post-care support and carer advocacy services, and $1.8 million for a Child and Young Person's Visitor Scheme in residential care
• $3.3 million over two years in grants to support live music in small venues and larger scale events and festivals, and $1 million in 2022–23 to provide $5000 grants to venues to undertake minor upgrades
• $2 million to reinstate the Regional Capability Community Fund grant program for equipment to create farm firefighting units
• $1 million in grants for women’s and men’s sheds.

It's still unclear when or how this money will trickle down to not-for-profits and community groups, but we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for grant updates relevant to Funding Centre members.
