Applications for the 2024 AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award and Acceleration Grant are now open.
AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award
The Award acknowledges the essential role women play in rural industries, businesses and communities, providing a platform to inspire and support Australian women to use and develop their skills to benefit those industries and communities.
The Award can help to secure funding for an existing project, business or program which is live and up and running, with state/territory winners receiving a $15,000 grant generously sponsored by Westpac. The Award also opens doors to professional development and Alumni networks.
AgriFutures Rural Women’s Acceleration Grant
The AgriFutures Rural Women’s Acceleration Grant is a program developed to foster growth and development in women involved in Australia’s rural and emerging industries, businesses and communities.
Seven Australian women per annum will be granted with a learning and development bursary (not cash) of up to $7,000 for professional development to enable them to bring their idea, cause or vision to life.
Location is no barrier. If you want to create impact, innovate and contribute to enhancing the prosperity of rural and regional Australia, the Award organisers want to hear from you.
Applications are open until Wednesday, 25 October 2023. More information, and details on how to apply, here.
