Application guidelines

The grant application forms and application guidelines may be altered by the Tasmanian Community Fund each grant round. However, The Tasmanian Community Fund Board recognises that community organisations like to begin preparing for the next Grant Round as soon as possible. To assist with this process the Board makes copies of the guidelines and application forms from the last grant round available - these are for information purposes only and should not be used to submit future applications. 

• Application Form and Guidelines – Under $10 000
