2010 PROGRAM GUIDELINES
The CATCH Program is a source of funds providing grants of up to $20,000 to not for profit community groups in rural and remote Australia.
The CATCH program has been established, with the support of the John T Reid Charitable Trusts in response to the identified need for an independent and flexible source of funding of up to $250,000 this year, to support worthwhile activities in the areas of culture and tourism, the arts, history and heritage across rural and remote Australia. In addition, the Julian Flett Foundation managed by Perpetual, will also support worthwhile activities in the areas of culture and tourism, the arts, history and heritage in the Taree area.
Activities which enrich the life of rural and remote communities are often centred on arts and culture, history and heritage and public tourism. This program, aims to meet this need.
