Grants and Opportunities

“Water Connects Everything: Healthy Water-Healthy People"

Grant applications for healthy water projects are open for Traditional Owners of the Great Barrier Reef and its catchment.

The collective experience and expertise in understanding Country and looking after water sources - together with the exploration of issues and challenges commonly faced by Traditional Owners around accessing grants, has shaped the program design, delivery and key focus areas for this grant program.

The Reef Trust Partnership - Traditional Owner Healthy Water Grants 2.0 Program is a competitive grants program which provides $4 million to eligible Traditional Owners to build capabilities, increase skills and training opportunities, strengthen partnerships and undertake healthy water projects within the Great Barrier Reef Catchment that will help protect the Great Barrier Reef.
