SNAICC support for early education funding

SNAICC is inviting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) to complete a Request for Support form for the Building Early Education Fund – ACCO Capital Grant and Small Scale Capital Grant rounds.

This Request for Support form is for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) to request support from SNAICC in considering and preparing applications for grant opportunities.

Email SNAICC at policy@snaicc.org.au anytime or the Australian Government BuildingFundSmallScaleGrant@education.gov.au before May15.

It will also assist SNAICC in advising the Australian Government on ACCOs that may be invited to submit a full application under the Building Early Education Fund – Small Scale and ACCO Grant Rounds.

Submission of this request for support does not guarantee progression to a full application or funding.

SNAICC’s role is to help ACCOs put together business cases to access the grants, and to provide advice to the Department of Education on organisations they should invite to apply.

SNAICC is not the funder and does not make the funding decisions for these grants.

All funding decisions will be made by the Department of Education.

Deadline

There is no deadline for sending Requests for Supports to SNAICC.

However, the Small Scale Capital Grant stream closes on 29 May 2026.

To be considered for this grant opportunity we ask that Requests for Support are returned to SNAICC by 24 April 2026.
