Do you have a project that protects, restores or rejuvenates our local environment?

Our annual Grassroots Grants programs puts up to $270,000 on the table for projects that support volunteers, schools, environmental community organisations, not-for-profit groups and landholders working locally for environmental and regenerative land management outcomes. Grants are available for projects in the Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu across two funding tiers: less than $5,000 and up to $20,000.
