Strategic Partnership grants
Grants are now open for the next round of the Strategic Partnerships Program (SPP), to provide funding to community-based organisations across the state to enrich and enhance Victoria's curriculum.
The grants allow organisations to provide learning opportunities to students beyond the traditional classroom setting, giving students the opportunity to deepen their comprehension and retention.
Grants made through the next round will be for a two-year period, commencing from January 1, 2026 and concluding December 31 2027.
Applications close 3pm on June 10.
