Marinus Link has created the Community Grants Program to support community initiatives in the communities along the proposed project alignment in Victoria and in North West Tasmania.

Who can apply?

The Community Grants Program is open for registered, not-for-profit organisations, who demonstrate that their project/initiative aligns to Marinus Link’s Sustainability Framework.

How to apply

Completed applications should be emailed to team@marinuslink.com.au and include ‘COMMUNITY GRANT APPLICATION’ in the email subject line.

Important Community Grants Program Information

• Organisations are eligible for one community grant only throughout the lifespan of the project.
• Applications through the Community Grants Program will be received and assessed by the Marinus Link Team.
• We receive many requests and are unable to support all requests, even if they meet our assessment guidelines.
• We consider a number of internal factors when reviewing applications, including the location of the organisation, resources required to deliver the initiative, opportunities for community engagement, alignment with Marinus Link’s Sustainability Framework and the compatibility of other funding partners.
• We carefully assess each request against our criteria, which is completed after the application period has closed.
• Following application cut-off, it can take up to four (4) weeks for us to assess your application and get back to you. If we need more detail about your proposal, we’ll contact you using the information you provide.
• Marinus Link reserves the right to refuse to consider an application if Marinus Link, in its sole discretion, considers that the applicant does not meet the Community Grants Application Criteria.
• Once the available funds for Community Grants Program have been exhausted, Marinus Link will not be in a position to approve additional applications.
