Sally’s Ride Small Grants Program

About the program

The Sally’s Ride Small Grants Program helps community organisations put ideas into action to support youth mental health and suicide prevention. Managed by the Rotary Club of Central Launceston, the program directs funds raised through Sally’s Ride towards initiatives with a clear purpose, a practical delivery plan and measurable benefits for young people.

Grants available: $2,500–$3,000
Applications close: 15 November 2026

Who can apply?

Organisations delivering programs or initiatives focused on youth mental health and suicide prevention in Tasmania.

What can funding support?

Grants can support equipment and resources used directly to deliver an eligible program or initiative.
