• where possible, include a financial and / or in-kind co-contribution

• Operational and administration costs.
• Previous grant recipients who have not completed their final report requirements.
• The encouragement or advancement of sport and recreation and social and political activities are not considered charitable by the Australian Taxation Office.  Applications from sporting organisations need to benefit the wider community and should clearly indicate which other local organisations are involved.
• Government departments and organisations are not considered charitable by the Australian Taxation Office.  Applications from government departments and organisations need to demonstrate that they are not seeking funding for activities that are the core responsibility of Government.  Applications need to demonstrate that the activity is outside of or in addition to its core purpose.
• Projects that give donations to other organisations.
• Projects that are capable of attracting funding from other sources.
• Funding for projects known to be in existence or funded by other funding bodies.
