What is the Small Poppy Fund?
The Small Poppy Fund was established by Council to support the 2007 - 2017 Community Plan. The Fund has an emphasis on supporting local neighbourhoods and building social connections by 'kick starting' projects in local neighbourhoods to improve living in Port Phillip. The Fund aims to make it easier for people to take action and share their talents and resources through working together on the things that matter to their neighbourhood.
Can we get Small Poppy Funding for our idea?
The Small Poppy Fund was specifically established to cater for local people with good ideas and a capacity to take action to bring about positive improvements to neighbourhoods but who do not have access to traditional sources of public funding because they are not formal organisations. The Fund is not intended for projects run by established organisations and community groups.
What do we need to know before we apply?
