All members are welcome to apply for grants that benefit the Makers' Space or support your group’s creative goals.
If you have an idea that needs a little funding boost, we’re here to help – and there are some great local grants available!
📝 Before you apply: To keep things running smoothly, we just ask that you:

• Get approval from the Executive Committee before submitting your application (they’ll need to sign off).
• Commit to delivering the project and completing the grant acquittal (a simple summary of how the funds were used).

🌱 Local Grant Options:

• Acciona Grants – Simple to apply for, up to $2,000 (best chance for $1,000 or under)
• South West Community Foundation – Simple process, up to $2,000 (also best at $1,000 or under)

🌟 Bigger Opportunities:

• Colac Otway Shire Grants – More detailed application, up to $5,000
• Regional Arts Victoria – Competitive and complex, but possible for the right project – up to $30,000
