Veterans SA Capacity Building Grant Fund guidelines

The Capacity Building Grants Fund is administered by Veterans SA.

The grants provide one-off funding to eligible ex-service organisations to develop projects that improve their governance and strengthen their capacity building skills.

Grants are available for projects or initiatives that are aimed at building capacity, knowledge and skills within the community, but do not create an ongoing need for funding.

Grants will be awarded through one funding round in financial year 2024/2025.  Grants of up to $5,000 are available for projects to be delivered over twelve months.

The fund will be open for applications until the program funds are exhausted or 5:00pm on 31 May 2025, whichever is earlier.

Who is eligible

To be eligible for funding, ex-service organisations must:

• Be non-government, not-for-profit and
  • Incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act 1985 for a minimum of one year, or
  • An Australian Public Company Limited by Guarantee under the Corporations Act 2001, or
  • A Statutory Authority established through an Act, or
  • Registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission with a comparable legal status
• Have a registered Australian Business Number (ABN)
• Provide satisfactory evidence that their core purpose is to deliver initiatives, services or support for veterans in South Australia
• Be South Australian based.

Can organisations apply as a partnership?

Key ex-service organisations may apply as a lead agency in partnership with one or more South Australian unincorporated not for profit organisations. Ex-service organisations might partner with one or more organisations to combine their knowledge, skills and experience. 

The lead organisation is responsible for submitting the application online and if successful will have legal and financial accountability of the project, be required to enter into the grant agreement, receive the funding and be responsible for acquittal of the funding.

Evidence of the partnership must be provided by the lead organisation as part of their application (eg a letter from each of the partner organisations, confirming their collaboration on the project).
