What is the Community Website Grant?

Running a not-for-profit means wearing a lot of hats, and the website is often the first thing pushed aside, especially when there’s no budget for professional help.


That’s why we created the Community Website Grant: complimentary digital services for two organisations doing charitable, Not-For-Profit or community benefit work across the ACT and NSW.

Each grant is tailored.

From website design to SEO and content, we’ll focus on what will make the biggest difference for your organisation within your grant’s value.

PRIMARY RECIPIENT

$16,000 AUD

in tailored professional services.
SECONDARY RECIPIENT

$4,000 AUD

in tailored professional services.
The secondary recipient will receive support for a smaller, focused project. The work will be agreed after discussing the organisation’s needs and what can be delivered within the grant’s value.

What’s included in the grant?

For the primary recipient, services may include a complete website, SEO and content package:
  • Discovery session to understand your organisation
  • Custom website design
  • Article template
  • SEO-optimised copywriting and headlines for each page
  • Keyword research and mapping
  • Website hosting for 12 months from launch
  • 7 days of post-launch corrections and minor edits

What’s not included in the grant?

  • Logo design
  • Any fees for domain, platform, paid plugins or other third-party costs
  • Ongoing website maintenance and support beyond the 7-day post-launch period
  • The grant cannot be transferred, exchanged or redeemed for money.
Hosting is included for the first 12 months from launch. After this period, ongoing hosting costs are the recipient’s responsibility
