BRCT COMMUNITY GRANTS

Quick Response Grants

Sometimes an unexpected cost or opportunity comes along that simply cannot wait. Our Quick Response Grants help local organisations, groups and individuals respond to smaller, unplanned or time-sensitive funding needs throughout the year.

BEFORE YOU SUBMIT

Is Quick Response Right for You?

Quick Response Grants may be suitable for:

  • Unexpected repairs or replacement of essential equipment.
  • An unplanned opportunity for a local group or individual.
  • Additional costs associated with a community event or activity.
  • A smaller project requiring timely financial support.

BRCT has an annual Quick Response funding pool of $40,000, allocated across 11 monthly meetings. This means approximately $3,500 is available each month, shared between successful applications.
