State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes said applications had opened for Anzac Day Proceeds Fund and Victoria Remembers grants.
Anzac Day Proceeds Fund grants will support a range of welfare and wellbeing activities for veterans in Victoria.
“Service can have a lasting impact on the lives of veterans and their families,” Ms Symes said.
“It’s important that we give veterans the support they deserve and ensure their service, legacy and sacrifice are remembered.”
Grants of up to $150,000 are available for ex-service organisations and veterans’ community groups that plan to provide activities for veterans state-wide.
Regional organisations or sub-branches can apply for grants of up to $50,000 for activities that will benefit veterans in a specific area or region.
The Victoria Remembers grants provide up to $30,000 for projects that recognise veterans’ service or educate Victorians about the sacrifices and contributions veterans make.
Examples of projects that might be funded include new war memorials highlighting achievements of local veterans, events that commemorate significant anniversaries, and public education through digital storytelling methods — such as podcasts or websites.
Applications for the grant programs are open until September 9.
