NAB has just annouced that they have opened the environmental wellbeing grant round for the NAB Foundation’s 2017 Grants Program. The Sustainable Regions Grants from the NAB Foundation support the development and implementation of regional approaches to:
- strengthen coordination and collaboration between environmental groups, business, landholders and government,
- involve the community in practical on-ground action to improve the environment, and
- implement regional solutions to environmental challenges.
Examples of the types of initiatives that may be eligible for the NAB Foundation Sustainable Regions Grants include but are not limited to those that address:
- Water quality: by increasing gully and stream bank control, improving fertiliser application efficiency, reducing erosion losses and improving farm water efficiency or minimising farm run-off,
- Climate change: by undertaking climate adaptation or carbon sequestration projects, implementing traditional firestick farming practices and other activities which reduce carbon emissions or mitigate climate risk, and
- Biodiversity enhancement: by delivering revegetation or restoration of ecosystems such as coastal habitats, wetlands and riparian vegetation and enhancement of pollination or pest control services.
There are two grant types on offer within this category:
- Thrive Grant: Thrive grants help initiatives or organisations to become sustainable, scale or collaborate and move to their next stage of growth,
- Seed Grant: Seed grants build, test or pilot innovative ideas or help organisations get started through core operations and capacity building.
Grant amounts will start from $100,000 to $1,000,000 payable over a maximum period of up to three years. It is anticipated that two to three grants will be awarded.
