Program objective
The Reducing Social Isolation Grant program aims to reduce social isolation for older people. Older people are those aged 65 years and over, or 50 years and over for Aboriginal people.
The program supports projects for older people that:
- provide meaningful and lasting social connection
- help them connect with each other in small group activities in person (if possible)
- enable them to develop lasting quality relationships
- engage new people, particularly harder-to-reach older people.
Projects, programs and activities will need to be flexible. For example, moving online at any time during the program, to align with any public health orders.
Round Two grants are for local government authorities and not-for-profit community organisations. This program is offered by NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ).
This program is funded and administered by Department of Communities and Justice.
Eligibility
Who can apply
- incorporated not-for-profit community organisations, including
- incorporated organisations registered and approved as not-for-profit bodies by NSW Fair Trading
- not-for-profit companies, limited by guarantee and registered in NSW (must have ACNC registration and/or DGR status)
- associations (registered under the Associations Incorporation Act 2009 with NSW Fair Trading)
- NSW Local Aboriginal Land Councils
- religious organisations operating in NSW
- NSW non-government organisations established under an Act of Parliament.
- NSW local councils operating under the Local Government Act 1993.
Please note, where possible, funding will be distributed across NSW to ensure an equitable spread of funds and projects.
Who can’t apply
- For-profit organisations
- Individuals
- Organisations that have outstanding acquittals with DCJ.
Any applicants that were successful in Round 1 of the Reducing Social Isolation for Seniors grant program will have to show how their new proposed project is separate from their currently funded project.
The NSW Government will not award a Funding Arrangement to a non-government organisation with Redress Obligation (or to any of its Related Entities) if it:
- has declined to join the scheme, or
- has not joined six months after it is told to join the scheme.
Type of project funded under this grant
Eligible projects should fit one of the following three approaches:
- creation of a new program that fosters social inclusion for older people.
- enhancement of a successful program that fosters social inclusion focuses on older people.
- expansion of a successful seniors’ program that fosters social inclusion. For example, into a new geographical area or to target a new cohort/s (for example, CALD and/or Aboriginal). It should not duplicate or try to replace a similar local program that is already successful.
Priority groups
- Aboriginal people aged 50 years and over
- people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds
- people living with disability, dementia, chronic disease or mental illness
- carers
- people in rural, regional and remote areas
- people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer or asexual (LGBTIQA+).
Expected participation
Each project requires a minimum number of new participants. With the funding range from $10,000 to $60,000, the expected minimum number of new participants would range from 20 to 120. This is based on an estimated costing of approximately $500 per person for the total grant value (e.g. a $10,000 grant would be seeking the participation of at least 20 older people).
Example projects
- Nature walks or birdwatching tours for those with low mobility.
- A yarning circle for older Aboriginal people.
- Visits to older people who are housebound, with the help of a local community transport group.
- A ‘Men’s Shed’ or ‘Women’s Repair café’.
- Free community transport to social activities for older women with a health condition.
- A supper club program for local residents. Weekly cooking classes end with a completion dinner. Support to create ongoing supper clubs in their homes.
- A local book club or toastmasters-style forum. A local library provides access to e-books.
