Community Response Fund

The Community Response Fund is a short-term, time limited response to address immediate cost and demand pressures the economic downturn is placing on key community-based critical social services for families, children, young and older people. 

Community organisations were invited to apply for the Community Response Fund when in severe financial difficulty or are experiencing an increased demand for their services as a result of the economic downturn.

Applications for Round Nine closed Friday, 24 February 2012.  This was the final round of this Fund and it is now closed.  

Successful applicants for Round Nine have been posted under the Grants Awarded section of this website.
