The The Catalyst Grant is the latest hot grant from our EasyGrants newsletter.

Provider: Westpac Foundation
Region: National

Closing Date: 25 February 2012

Overview:
If you run a social enterprise or a social enterprise initiative within a not-for-profit, this grant will be a boost to your commercial activities. It is a reward for your sustainable business model and the example you set in the not-for-profit sector.

The organisation must be a not-for-profit with deductible gift recipient status and the social enterprise must generate at least 20% of its revenue from commercial/trading activity.

If the funding is being sought for a social enterprise initiative within a not-for-profit, the social enterprise initiative must generate at least 20% of its revenue from commercial/trading activity. For example, you may run a not-forprofit which five years ago set up a café. If in 2011, 20% of the café's revenue comes from its trading activity, you will be eligible to apply.

The social enterprise or social enterprise initiative should address one or more of the following areas: support for those Australians who feel socially excluded; support for indigenous Australians; support for the individuals with a disability; and the creation of lifelong learning and education leading to employment.
