Community Kickstart Program 2025

At our heart, we believe in the transformative power of community. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that the ISPT Community Kickstart Grant Program is back in 2025. We know there are incredible local groups making a real difference right here in our neighbourhood, and we’re here to champion their vital work.

Think of this as a powerful catalyst for those who elevate our community. These grants are all about supporting projects and services that truly enrich lives. We’re here to strengthen your efforts, expand your reach, and continue creating positive change throughout our local area.

Ready to elevate your project? Applications open on August 18th and close on September 21st.

Who Can Apply?

Our $10,000 Community Grant Program is open to:

Registered organisations dedicated to enriching our community.
Local community groups and voluntary organisations. (If your organisation isn’t based right here, simply show us how you benefit our local residents – we’re confident you will!)
Organisations/community groups that hold an Australian Business Number (ABN).
Three finalists will be chosen to move forward to a community vote, where one will ultimately receive a grant of $10,000! This grant is designed to empower the project that truly stands out and captures the hearts of our community.

Only one grant will be awarded. Additionally, selected groups will be offered prime space within the Shopping Centre to raise funds, giving them an exciting platform.

We want to ensure absolute clarity and fairness, so we’ll be judging all submissions carefully based on our ISPT criteria. It’s all about discovering the perfect fit to propel our local community forward.

Ready to Apply? Here’s How!

Applications open on Monday, August 18th. Just head over to isptcommunitykickstart.com to begin your journey. You can also find all the terms and conditions for the program by clicking HERE and a copy of the applicant guide HERE.
