The BCLN Board invites member groups to submit potential funding ideas to advance the pursuit of BCLN's purpose.
This exciting opportunity has become available as a result of the BCLN Community Projects Reserve being assessed as having capacity to provide a funding sources for community projects, research projects and donations that align with the strategic objectives and priorities of BCLN and will progress the achievement of key areas of focus. Funding ideas that help to target activities that currently have limited alternative funding sources, or require seed funding for new and innovative ideas will be highly regarded. Collaborative proposals that involve organisations outside of Landcare to help deliver project objectives is also acceptable.
The maximum amount of funding available in the Community Projects Reserve is reviewed annually, determined by recent financial performance of BCLN and other factors outlined in the BCLN reserve policy. In 2026 the estimated reserve is $120,000, noting that any unspent funds rollover from year to year.
It is also important to note that recurrent funding requests beyond 1 year cannot be committed to; however new funding requests for the same project can be submitted in subsequent years for consideration.
Funding submission ideas will be reviewed by the BCLN Board, and shortlisted proposals for 2026 will then be invited to work up a more detailed proposal.
