Grants
FYA has invested more than $30 million into the youth sector over the past twenty years, including an investment $1.3 million in 2009 alone. We are committed to supporting young people in communities across Australia and in 2010 will continue to provide funding and resources to talented individuals and youth-led organisations. FYA’s approach to social change-making continues to evolve, and we will not be opening new grant rounds in 2010, other than our Opportunity Grants and Opportunity Scholarships. If you’re seeking direct funding you might find some of the links below useful.
Ongoing funding
In 2010 FYA is proud to be working with our current group of grant partners. These 30 dynamic initiatives and organisations work with young people all over the country in the areas of health and wellbeing, education, community development, the arts and leadership skills development.
