Got an idea to help your community?
Whether it's protecting homes against fire, teaching our kids about road safety or combating climate change, local community organisations play a vital role in our lives.
That's why SGIO supports local community organisations working in the areas of crime prevention, road safety, emergency readiness and response, and the environment through our Community Grants Program.
Since 2003 the Community Grants Program has given more than $4 million to over 1,000 community projects right across Australia. Last year was one of our biggest years on record!
In SA and WA, we gave 29 community grants to various groups committed to making our communities safer and greener - an investment of around $110,000.
For more information about the Community Grants Program check out our FAQs or download the Community Grants Information Booklet.
Applications for the 2010 Community Grants Program have now closed. The 2010 grant recipients will be announced soon!
