Facebook Australia Groups Fund
Facebook is providing grants to support Facebook Groups to come together in Australia. Applicants from Eligible Facebook Groups are invited to apply for a grant, to support an Eligible Activity related to that Group.
Funding
Applicants representing an Eligible Facebook Group may be considered for a Grant between the value of AU$ 500- AU$5,000, to fund an Eligible Activity. The value of the Grant is determined by Facebook in its sole discretion and may be different to the amount requested by the Applicant.

An Eligible Activity is one which is based in Australia that requires funding to support the purpose, facilitation and ongoing activities of the Group. For example, the Grant may be used to fund a variety of events, resources, tools and access that empower face-to-face or offline activities of the Group and their members. We will take a variety of matters into consideration, including whether the activity:
