Telstra Connected Communities Grant Program Applications Closing Soon

Applications are closing soon for the 2026 Telstra Connected Communities Grant Program, offering valuable funding opportunities for not-for-profit organisations across regional, rural and remote Australia.

Delivered in collaboration with the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR), this initiative is designed to support community-led projects that strengthen connection, resilience and inclusion at a local level. Eligible organisations can apply for grants of up to $10,000 to deliver projects that enhance community wellbeing and support future growth.

Projects should address at least one of the following focus areas:

✔️ Community resilience – building stronger, more connected communities that can respond to challenges

✔️ Sustainability – supporting inclusive, healthy and thriving communities for the long term

✔️ Liveability – improving digital skills and access to help communities adapt in an increasingly connected world

Submissions close at 5:00pm (AEDT) on Thursday, 26 March 2026, with successful recipients to be announced in June 2026.
