The Cowan consultation committee may also decide to nominate your organisation for less funding (or more funding) than you have applied for.

Further information
If you wish to include any supporting information with your EOI, please email it to anne.aly.mp@aph.gov.au, making sure to set out which organisation you are applying for.

All Expressions of Interest (EOIs) will be assessed by the Community Committee. After the EOI process has been finalised, MPs will nominate organisations. If your organisation is nominated, you will be invited to apply for a grant, which will then be assessed by the Department. More information on the application process is provided in Section 2 of the Guidelines. Please note that grants are one off, not ongoing. If your organisation is nominated to apply, your information will be shared with the Department.

Important: If your organisation is an unincorporated association, an individual from your organisation must assume personal legal liability. The individual will be legally responsible for delivering the funded activity, managing expenditure, and meeting all obligations under the grant agreement. For more details, see Section 4 of the Guidelines.
By ticking this box, you certify that you have read and understood the Grant Opportunity Guidelines, and that all the information you have supplied in this form is true and correct (to the best of your knowledge). *
