ESPERANCE AG FUND

Agriculture Investing in the Esperance Community

The Fund has been established to make an indelible difference within our Esperance community. Through donations from the local agriculture sector, we can provide funding to projects that make a positive impact. This is all about farmers supporting the Esperance community, investing in opportunities that make Esperance a place anyone would want to live and thrive. The Fund will deliver an ongoing impact and be a legacy we can all be very proud of.

Guiding Principles

  • Preference to locally-based groups focused on a local initiative

  • Projects to deliver step-change/long-term outcomes

  • Longer-term funding opportunities

  • Operational funding which is often ineligible for grant funding

  • Applications can be for amounts between $5000 to $50,000

  • For a project to be successful, it will need to commence before June 30, 2023, but can be for more than 12 months in longevity

  • The Esperance Ag Fund also strongly recommends that you discuss your application with at least one of the committee members prior to applying for funding
