This Girl Can – Victoria local area marketing grants for councils
This Girl Can – Victoria is more than a physical activity campaign. This is about empowering women to feel comfortable in their bodies and in public spaces. This is about women getting active whenever, wherever and however they choose – without worrying about being judged.
Background
Victorian local councils are invited to apply for a local area marketing grant to promote VicHealth’s highly successful This Girl Can – Victoria campaign, celebrating women who are all kinds of active.
Launched in 2018, the campaign has already inspired more than 285,000 Victorian women to get active so far. The campaign focuses on Victorian women aged 18 and over who are less active and aims to empower them to get active whenever, wherever and however they choose – without worrying about being judged.
Funding
Grants of $10,000–$15,000 (excluding GST) are available for councils to promote the campaign to women in their local community, and encourage women to get involved in local physical activity opportunities.
Eligibility
This funding is designed to be used for the cost of promotional activities and staff costs.
To be eligible for the This Girl Can – Victoria local area marketing grants, you must:
- be a Victorian local council
