About Foundation Broken Hill’s Grant Funding.
Foundation Broken Hill manages a capital fund that generates interest which is then re-invested into the Broken Hill Community through grants that support economic development and local social initiatives. The Foundation works with a wide range of local organisations and groups providing project funds that create employment opportunities and encourage social development
The grant funds that are distributed by the Foundation aim to help Broken Hill transition from a mining town to a vibrant, diverse and self-reliant community. Grants are available to local businesses and groups for projects that help the Foundation achieve this aim. The Foundation provides an alternative funding avenue for seed funding for new or expanding projects in Broken Hill.
Funding Priorities
The number of applications for funding will always exceed the funds available and all worthwhile projects cannot be guaranteed support, regardless of their merit. In general, preference is given to projects that:
Facilitate economic development and job creation within the Broken Hill region
Enable local business expansion and new business ventures
Support local youth through projects which develop skills and employment prospects
Encourage education, sporting and social activities
Enrich the cultural diversity of the Broken Hill region
Improve community access to services
Enhance community wellbeing and resources
This is a discretionary funding program. Each application will be considered on its merits along with all other applications.
