Veteran Community Grants Program

Applications to the 2025 Veteran Community Grants Program close at 5pm on 11 November 2025.

 

Overview

The Veteran Community Grants Program (VCGP), formerly the Anzac Community Grants Program (ACGP), provides grants of up to $3,000 for a range of projects that commemorate and educate New South Wales communities about the service and sacrifices of current and former military servicemen and servicewomen. Projects which support activities benefiting the NSW veteran community are also eligible for funding. 

Please note that grant recipients who have received funding over three consecutive years will not be eligible to apply in the fourth year. Funding for Anzac Day events and commemorations is ineligible, and assistance can be provided through RSL NSW and local councils as applicable.

More information on eligibility can be viewed in the program guidelines.
