The ACT Government invested $5 million as seed funding to kick-start a long term commitment to their local charities and community sector to support their incredible work and also explore innovative solutions to meeting community needs. The Chief Minister’s Charitable Fund Grant Program is aimed at addressing the needs of vulnerable people by supporting and working with charitable organisations and social enterprises. The fund is managed by Hands Across Canberra.

The following outlines the three funding priority levels attached to the Covid-19 Rapid Response Grant Round:

Front-Line Grants fund community organisations that have increased demand for services due to Covid-19 i.e. those that provide services to financially vulnerable people who work in industries without sick leave and/or health care; homeless people; and health-challenged vulnerable people. This category is designed for the dissemination of direct relief to vulnerable people (specific examples include food, basic necessities, organisational expenses to facilitate service delivery, food bank & food pantries; meals delivery programs; homeless programs etc.).
Capacity Grants fund non-profits that are modifying their in-person service delivery modes extremely rapidly due to Covid-19, and need assistance to do so i.e. upgrading sanitation protocols and obtain cleaning supplies, protective equipment & personnel or upgrading technology to enable remote programmes (youth centres, recreation centres, senior services, community-based programs).
Service Disruption Prevention Grants to fund organisational activities to prevent disruption to their services. (examples: casual staff to fill positions vacant as a result of Covid-19; utilities and operational costs associated with Covid-19).
