Tasmanian Food Relief Capital Investment Grants Program 2025

Through the 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future, and the 2024-25 State Budget, the Tasmanian Government committed to supporting the continued shift from emergency food relief to building long-term food resilience in Tasmania.

This commitment includes funding for $2.5 million for the Tasmanian Food Relief Capital Investment Grants Program 2025 (the Grants Program).

Grants are available to food relief providers for projects to maximise cold storage, logistics and commercial kitchen facilities, including contributions toward:

• capital works to food relief premises including infrastructure upgrades, renovations, construction, or building improvements,
• outright (freehold) purchase of a food relief premises, and/or
• purchase and installation of inbuilt commercial cooking or storage solutions.

Grants are available into two categories:

• Small Grants of up to $25,000 for community organisations that currently or intend to provide food relief.
• Large Grants of up to $250,000 for community organisations that have been operating as a food relief organisation in Australia for at least five years.

Organisations that applied for the recent Tasmanian Community Food Relief Grants Program 2025 are permitted to also apply for this Grants Program.

I confirm, as an authorised representative of the organisation, that:

• I have read and understand the program Guidelines; and
• that the organisation:
  
  • is a not-for-profit organisation that delivers or intends to deliver food relief to Tasmanians; being an organisation that delivers community support, services and/or programs to Tasmanians; and
  • holds a currently active Australian Business Number (ABN); and
  • is one of the following:
    • An incorporated organisation, or auspiced by a not-for-profit legal entity;
    • A parents and friends association; or
    • A not-for-profit organisation.

NOTES:

Eligible organisations who are successfully awarded a grant are required to hold and maintain appropriate public liability insurance. Applicants will be required to provide a copy of the organisation’s public liability insurance as part of this application.

Applicants with outstanding reporting or acquittal obligations for other Department of Premier and Cabinet grants may still apply and be successful in being awarded a grant, but will not receive funding under this Program until the current obligations are met.
