Swan Grants aim to support community projects that improve the well-being of a community and/or environmental sustainability through local initiatives.

These projects should contribute to at least one of the following priority areas:

• Support neighbourhood action plans.
• Advance participation in community life.
• Celebrate cultural diversity.
• Redress disadvantage and enhance social inclusion.
• Promote community safety and social cohesion.
• Extend the capacity of not for profit organisations.
• Promote lifelong learning.
• Support social enterprise and business community partnerships.
• Contribute to bush care, environmental revegetation and rehabilitation works.
• Protect and/or rehabilitate endemic flora and fauna.
• Reduce resource consumption and waste - energy, waste and/or water.

Projects should create links between people, places, community groups and resources and improve access for people who might otherwise not participate.
