auDA 2025 Community Grant Program

Each year, auDA provides targeted funding through its Community Grant Program to projects that empower underserved groups to better access and benefit from the internet.

In 2025, a total pool of $750,000 will be awarded across 15 projects, with individual grants of $50,000.

Eligible projects must benefit at least one of five priority groups: rural, regional and remote Australians; Australians living with disability; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; older Australians (65+); or young Australians (12–24).

The program is open to not-for-profit organisations and research institutions registered with the ACNC. Projects that also deliver positive outcomes for environmental sustainability are encouraged.

This funding supports projects that expand digital access, foster innovation, and create lasting value for Australian communities. If your work enhances how Australians engage with the internet, this grant can help bring your project to life.
