Quick Response Grants
Tender Overview
About this tender
Quick Response Grants Quick Response grants aim to fill a funding gap for unfunded community groups and not-for-profit organisations requiring assistance outside of our annual community grant programs. This grant is intended to address one-off emerging, or unexpected needs and opportunities, rather than recurring funding or ongoing operational expenses, unless a clear need can be identified. Applicants can receive up to a total of $1,000 in Quick Response funding during a financial year for one or more projects.
How to respond to this tender
A strong tender response is clear, compliant, and backed by evidence. These steps apply to most Australian and New Zealand public tenders.

Confirm you are eligible and it is worth bidding
Check licences, insurances, certifications, and any conformance requirements before you commit. A quick bid or no-bid decision saves days of wasted effort on a tender you cannot win.
Answer every criterion with evidence
Respond to each evaluation criterion directly and back your claims with concrete examples, referees, and past performance. Address the buyer’s stated need, not a generic capability statement.
Lodge early through the official portal
Submit through the source portal well before the deadline. Late or incorrectly lodged bids are almost always rejected, so leave time for uploads, portal errors, and last-minute questions.
