Eligibility requirements for organisations to apply for funding through the Honouring our Veterans Grants Program - Capital Works - 2026 Round 2 are outlined in the guidelines.

If an applicant organisation is not eligible to apply in their own right (e.g. if they are an unincorporated group or have no ABN), they may partner with another organisation that meets the eligibility criteria to act as an auspice. 

The auspice organisation must formally agree to support the application (via a letter of support).

If the application is successful, the applicant organisation will deliver the project, but the auspice organisation will sign the funding agreement and be responsible for managing the funds and ensuring compliance with the funding agreement.
