COMPACT supports partnerships and collaboration between community, non-government, youth, sports, arts/media, educational, industry and other organisations by providing grant funding for innovative, evidence-based community projects.

The proven COMPACT Program recognises that socially cohesive communities are more resilient communities in the face of adversity and crisis. Whether dealing with bushfires, floods, terrorism, a global pandemic or overseas conflicts, more connected communities are more resilient to, and recover more quickly from, adversity.

Successful applications will ideally bring together partners or consortia with the demonstrated experience, expertise and capacity to engage and effect real positive change in young people (aged between 12-30), families and communities within a community resilience and conflict resolution frame.

Eligible organisations can apply for funding between $100,000 to $200,000 per year for two to four years.

Ansvar’s Community Education Program provides grants up to $50,000 for programs supporting Australian youth which fall under two categories:

• Empowerment and Education - Programs within this category must provide opportunities to develop positive values that lead to healthy lifestyle choices and a positive contribution to our community.

• Outreach Programs - Programs within this category must support youths who are at risk or are already experiencing difficulties (such as drug and/or alcohol abuse) through rehabilitation and/or skills training.

The Multi-Year Partnership opportunity is for longer-term projects (over three years) that require an extended implementation phase to lead to deeper, longer-term change for children and young people and the school community.

Over the course of the three-year program, schools will have the opportunity to work closely with the team of education professionals to help schools achieve their long-term objectives linked to their overall school improvement plan.

Examples of successful Multi-Year projects:

• Building industry connections and career pathways for students via mentorship, workplace encounters and a community engagement roadmap.
• Design and dissemination of a Passport for Learning tool across a network of special schools to provide individualised support to learners.
• Implementation of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) to address barriers for regional-based families in accessing effective intervention. 

Please Note: A Single Year Partnership is also available.

The Single Year Partnership opportunity is for short-term projects (over one year) that aim to improve outcomes for children and young people in specific subject areas or address specific challenges for targeted groups. These might be short-term focused but have significant impact within this timeframe.

Examples of successful Single-Year projects:

• Oral Indigenous language training for teachers, parents, and students to support students’ literacy.
• Using multi-tiered support systems to identify students at risk of anxiety or depression and targeted, evidence-based mental health interventions in the school setting.
• Staff training and development to embed trauma-informed practices in the classroom, manage emergent behaviour and create collaborative support plans for students.

Please Note: A Multi-Year Partnership is also available.
