Access Australia's smartest grants database
Review thousands of live federal, state and local government grants as well as trust, foundation and corporate grants, updated daily using the grants database. Search by keyword, region, category and eligibility.
If you're too busy to search the database, we'll save you time and mental energy by sending tailored email alerts about the grants that meet your needs.
Each month, you’ll receive a customised email newsletter, listing every grant you’re eligible to apply for in an easy to read digest format.
Curate grants on a personalised dashboard
Curate, store and manage all the grants you're interested in, in one place using our dashboard tool.
Add your favourite Funding Centre grants to your dashboard and see them at a glance, and add grants not listed on the Funding Centre that you would like to keep track of.
Sort grants by name, nickname, program provider, round status, closing date, amount applied for or upcoming tasks so you can find them easily.
