Regional Funding
In addition to the DCA funding programs, there are a number of devolved funds operated by several Perth-based organisations and distributed to regional clients on behalf of the Department.
Following is an “at-a-glance” listing of funding assistance available to regionally based clients through devolved funding programs.
Each of these organisations will be able to provide you with examples of previous projects funded under each program – this will assist you to gain a better understanding of the kinds of projects which each assessment panel consider worthy of support. Contact the relevant staff member at each organisation directly for additional information in relation to this matter.
