We won’t support:

• Any initiative , or organisation without a presence in Tasmania
• Proposals relating to sponsorship of activities outside of Tasmania
• Commercial projects, events, enterprises or individuals
• Provision of free or discounted electricity, electrical infrastructure, equipment or any other core product
• Any initiative involving high levels of risk or with poor safety or environmental performance
• Any project, event or organisation that could be considered inconsistent with our purpose, vision or role in the Tasmanian community
• Overtly political or religious organisations

We receive many requests a year and are unable to accept all requests, even if they meet our assessment guidelines.

Along with the above criteria, we consider a number of internal factors when reviewing applications, including the resources required to deliver the partnership, opportunities for community engagement, alignment with business priorities and the compatibility of other funding partners.

We carefully assess each request against our criteria and it can take up to 4 weeks for us to process your application and get back to you. If we need more detail about your proposal, we’ll contact you using the information you provide
