Now open: support opportunities for community stewardship initiatives
In 2026, $7 million in funding is available via the Community Stewardships program to support community-driven natural resource management projects across WA.
Submissions close at 12:00pm 29 April 2026 (AWST).
The Community Stewardship Grants are designed to facilitate the conservation and sustainable management of the state’s natural resources by supporting local groups to undertake stewardship of natural resources in their local area.
This initiative is managed though the State Natural Resource Management Program at the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.
To date, $60.2 million worth of Community Stewardship Grants have supported more than 500 grassroots not-for-profit and volunteer projects that care for the state’s diverse and valuable natural assets, from the Kimberley to the Great Southern.
