More information
The goal is to build communities where:
- everyone knows about 26TEN
- literacy and numeracy are talked about openly and seen as valuable skills that can be learned or improved
- people can easily tap into programs and services to help them improve their literacy and numeracy
- information is presented in ways that community members can readily understand.
Who can apply?
Any Tasmanian community, geographic or connected in other ways, with a strong, large network that has a passion for building the literacy and numeracy skills of their community. The community group that submits the application must be a legal entity.
Two types of grants are available.
A 26TEN Get Ready grant allows you to get ready to apply for a Get It Done grant, and you will be expected to have a completed application at the end of this grant. Grants of $2,000 - $10,000 (inc. GST) are available.
A 26TEN Get It Done grant supports you to run your project. Grants of $10,000 - $50,000 (inc. GST) are available.
Projects run for about 12 months.
