There is a total of up to $15 million available for this grant round.
Grants will be from $20,000 to $5 million.
The grant amount will be up to 50% of eligible project costs (grant percentage). If the applicant (you) and a third party (this could include state, territory or local government or other non-government funding) are both contributing to eligible project costs, the grant amount for this opportunity may be reduced to a third of eligible project costs.
