There are a few things that determine an organisation's ability to apply for TECT funding. We've developed an interactive Q&A to take you through the key eligibility criteria and guide you towards the appropriate fund for your needs.
2. Has your organisation received TECT funding in the last 12 months?
Only one grant will be approved to an organisation in any 12 month period regardless of which funding scheme is being applied to.
3. Are your organisations' accounts required to be audited or reviewed?
Your Trust Deed, Club Rules, or Constitution will specify whether or not your annual accounts are to be audited or reviewed.
TECT requires a copy of your latest financial statements including the auditors report or independant review report where applicable.
If your organisation has elected at an AGM not to have the accounts audited or reviewed, a copy of that minuted resolution is required.
4. Are you applying for funds toward the purchase or build of a new facility, or the rebuild/fitout of a current facility?
TECT funds facilities projects which have a significant benefit to the community. Funds can be directed towards a new facility or a significant upgrade of an existing facility.
Amenities projects can be applied for under our Community Facilities Fund. Click 'Yes” below to find out more about this fund and to download an application form.
5. Do you need funding for a community event?
TECT's Community Events fund is for community organisations holding an event that is open to the public.
Applications will be assessed on how they contribute to the community in terms of economic and social benefit.

6. Do you need funding for operating costs?

TECT will generally only fund up to 15% of total operating budget.
Operating Costs can be applied for under our Community Development Fund. Click 'Yes' below to find out more about the Community Development Fund and to download the application form.

- Vehicle expenses
- Equipment purchases (electrical & non-electrical)

Thank you for your enquiry
TECT will consider applications from organisations who are in the process of applying for charitable status.
In some circumstances TECT may consider applications from groups that operate independently but come under the umbrella of a qualifying organisation.
Please contact our office to discuss whether or not your organisation/group qualifies.
Thank you for your enquiry
In some circumstances TECT may consider applications from non-beneficiaries. This normally occurs when an organisation doesn't have its own office or is a national body applying on behalf of a regional organisation or is part of a national project.
It is possible that becoming a TECT beneficiary may be a condition of any funding granted (usually for new facilities).
Please contact our office to discuss whether or not your organisation/group qualifies.
Thank you for your enquiry
Even if you haven't been able to find a fund that suits, we may still be able to help!
Please contact our office to discuss your project or funding needs and our team will help determine your eligibility, and which funding scheme may be appropriate.
Thank you for your enquiry
TECT only funds one application per funding scheme, per year, for any one organisation.
