Finding funding to help with your work

The Public Reserves Management Fund (PRMF) is not the only possible source of funding available to help trusts upgrade and improve facilities.

Among the others are:

The NSW Maritime Better Boating Program (BBP) - a State Government grants program that provides waterways infrastructure for the benefit of the boating community and marine sector on New South Wales waterways.

For further information regarding the BBP please visit the NSW Maritime website at www.maritime.nsw.gov.au, send the BBP team an email on grants@maritime.nsw.gov.au or contact NSW Maritime’s Infrastructure Grants Manager, Lisa Anderson, on (02) 9563 8748.

Our Community – www.ourcommunity.com.au/index.jsp - has information about what grants are available, advice on developing a grants submission, and other general guidance on accessing community resources.

EasyGrants Newsletter provides information about currently available grants and also includes a bulletin service that reminds you of upcoming important grants. Find out more at www.ourcommunity.com.au/funding/grant_main.jsp.
