The Co-Group Grant

Each year The Co-Group invites applications from public benevolent institutions (PBIs) who are working at the front line and who are suitable recipients for TCG grants. The potential recipients are reviewed to determine alignment with TCG’s mission and goals. TCG works with each successful recipient on the design of their programs to ensure the recipient and TCG can work together to meet their common goal of improving the lives of people with a disability or who are aged and in distress.

Funds innovative and caring Australian charities working at the frontline to relieve poverty and enhance the lives of people with disability and older Australians who are in need.

Applicants should be a public benevolent institution (PBI) being a charitable institution whose main purpose is to relieve poverty or distress. Applicants must be registered and recognized by the ACNC and ATO as a subtype of charity.

Grants are intended for community organisations and social enterprises working with the aged or people with a disability in a way that reflects The Co-Group’s priorities and focus areas.

Priority will be given to initiatives that:
- Relate to the support of people with disability where the NDIS funding does not cover needs
- Relate to the support of older care people where the Aged Care funding does not cover needs
- Support people who are aged or living with a disability in a home situation and are in need.

Focus areas:
- Community based counselling and home care support
- Services that enhance quality of life in a home situation.
