The Money Month community fund is back for 2024!

Do you need support to run an event or initiative for your community during Money Month?


Apply for a share of $10,000 to support your community. $5,000 of the fund this year is earmarked for initiatives targeting women thanks to our friends at Empower Women. Tell us about your good ideas and help your local community to Pause. Get sorted. this August.

Monetary grants to help towards your Money Month community activity will be given up to a maximum value of $1,000 and will be allocated in smaller denominations, depending on the proposal. Smaller denominations are more likely to be granted than the maximum amount of $1000 to ensure more communities can benefit from this initiative. Applicants are welcome to suggest two initiatives at different value amounts in their application.

Get your entry in before 11.59pm 10 June 2024 and tell us about your plans. Successful applicants will be confirmed in mid-June.
