What is the purpose of the funding?
The ANZAC Day Commemoration Fund is established under the ANZAC Day
Commemoration Act 2005. The ANZAC Day Commemoration Council will consider
applications for funding over the period of the Centenary of ANZAC.
The period 2014 to 2018 marks 100 years since Australia’s involvement in the First
World War. The ANZAC Centenary provides us with an opportunity to remember those
who have fought and served in all wars, conflicts and peace keeping operations in the
past hundred years and to remember the more than 102,000 Australians who have given
their lives in service.
The main focus for the application of the funding will be those projects that are
specifically South Australian and are aimed at educating the community about the
significance of ANZAC Day and/or commemorating our nation’s military heritage.
This year’s funding will make available grants to organisations and community groups
with a specific project or activity that commemorates those who have served in wars,
conflicts or peace operations. Grants will generally be within the range of $2,000 to
$20,000 excluding GST, however projects outside these amounts will be considered
subject to competing priorities. Applications for projects over $10,000 must include a
comprehensive evaluation plan and evidence that alternative sources of funding have
been explored. Applications that demonstrate collaborative approaches or partnerships
are encouraged.
Who can apply?
Any individual, ex-service organisation, local government authority, community
organisation, special interest group, researcher, educational institution, parent group or
other not for profit organisation is eligible to apply for funds, provided that the applicant is
based in South Australia.

What types of projects may be funded?
The Council may apply funding for a number of purposes. During the centenary period,
the focus will be on:
•
Projects which commemorate the service and sacrifice of men and women during
the First World War;
•
Projects which commemorate the Century of Service – recognising the Australian
men and women who have served in war, defence and peacekeeping over the
last 100 years.
How do I submit my proposal?
Funding proposals should be developed with reference to these guidelines and using the
ANZAC Day Commemoration Fund Application Form. A covering letter is not required.
All proposed projects must be costed and quotations supplied. Assessment of
applications may be delayed where documentation and/or project budget details have
not been provided.
Funding requests for commemorative publications should include a proposed distribution
list to enable an informed decision to be made based on the anticipated community
benefit of the project.
Applicants should note that the RSL Virtual War Memorial, a state-wide centenary
project, has now been launched. This project involves the digital collection and
cataloguing of personal stories, documents and audio recordings and placement on a
dedicated website. Oral histories and research into individuals with local affiliations is a
valuable part of this project and grant applicants are therefore requested to include
electronic files for subsequent storage in a digital archive. Files in the following format
are preferred - Word files, .pdf, jpeg images, Mpeg video, .wav audio and DVD format
files. The virtual memorial can be accessed via the following link
www.rslvirtualwarmemorial.org.au.

Alternative funding options
When considering an application for a grant from the ANZAC Day Commemoration
Fund, alternate sources of funding may also be explored.
Saluting Their Service commemorations grants support projects and activities which
directly commemorate Australia’s service men and women.

What happens if my application is approved?

The recipient of the grant must enter into a grant agreement with the ANZAC Day
Commemoration Council that sets out the conditions of the grant, including acquittal
and reporting requirements.
Grants must be expended within twelve months of receipt of funding, unless approval
has been granted by the Council for an extension of time.
Funds must be spent on the project as described in the application, and any unspent
funds must be returned to the ANZAC Day Commemoration Council.
No portion of the grant monies can be expended on items not listed in the grant
agreement. Your organisation must seek approval in writing from the Council for any
alterations to the approved project.
Successful applicants are required to acknowledge support from the ANZAC Day
Commemoration Fund. Receipt of the grant must be publicly acknowledged in any
programs, correspondence or promotion of your organisation and its services to
members of the community. The grant must be acquitted in accordance with the
requirements of the grant agreement by completing an evaluation report and an
accountability statement provided by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. Your
organisation must also retain and provide to the Department copies of receipts for the
full grant amount.
