What are government grants?  
  
From building stronger communities, supporting volunteer networks and boosting our schools and clubs, to elevating someone’s opportunities, addressing a social cause and improving infrastructure, government grants provide successful applicants with funding support.   
  
Grants can also have a significant ripple effect. I love to visit newly successful recipients but also some time down the track when you can see the real impact of these grants.   
  
This could be a kitchen installation which means many more thousands of people are fed a year, new outdoor lighting at a club bringing better visibility and safety to its members, or a boost of funding that takes an idea or innovation to the global stage.   
 

St Peter's Primary School received a grant through the Planting Trees for the Queen's Jubilee program, celebrating the Platinum Jubilee of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
