AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

The Reece Foundation Grant – $5,000 to $30,000 [Australia + International]

About:
The Reece Foundation Grant supports not-for-profit organisations and community-led initiatives that improve access to clean water, sanitation (WASH), and food security through irrigation projects. The Foundation connects skilled volunteer tradespeople with communities in need and prioritises projects that deliver measurable health and wellbeing outcomes through water infrastructure—both within Australia and overseas. Applications are reviewed quarterly, and flood-relief efforts in Australia are currently prioritised.

📢 Eligibility:

• Not-for-profit organisations or community groups
• Individuals or groups sponsored by a not-for-profit entity
• Projects must focus on clean water, sanitation, or irrigation for food security
• Must include clear project timelines and budgets
• Ineligible: general donations, operational funding, projects not related to WASH or food security
• Employees and immediate families of Reece Group are ineligible

📝 How drinking water stations (CIVIQ) apply or meet the guidelines for this funding:
CIVIQ drinking water stations directly support the Foundation’s WASH goals by increasing community access to clean drinking water—an essential component of sanitation and public health. The stations help reduce waterborne illnesses, eliminate plastic bottle waste, and provide inclusive hydration infrastructure (e.g. disability-compliant refill points). These stations align with the grant’s focus on clean water access and improved wellbeing, and may be especially suitable for schools, public places, or flood-affected communities seeking sustainable hydration solutions.

Capital Grants Program – Funding varies on a case-by-case basis [Australia] 

About:

The Capital Grants Program (CGP) provides funding to assist non-government primary and secondary school communities to improve capital infrastructure, particularly for the most educationally disadvantaged students.

📢 Eligibility:

• Non-government schools that are members or prospective members of a Block Grant Authority (BGA)
• Schools in receipt of recurrent funding under the Australian Education Act
• Schools demonstrating financial need for the grant
• Schools with appropriate maintenance plans and compliance with relevant laws and standards

📝 How drinking water stations (Civiq) apply or meet the guidelines for the funding:

The installation of drinking water stations aligns with the CGP’s criteria for capital expenditure by upgrading water services infrastructure. Drinking fountains promote health and sustainability, support healthy, active lifestyles, reduce sugary drink consumption, and help schools meet their sustainability goals. The use of high-quality, stainless steel products made in Australia and custom art features further enhances the infrastructure, ensure compliance with disability standards and improve overall academic outcomes.
