It is never too early to start planning!
Think about what you want to do, who you want to work with (partners and beneficiaries), how you want to deliver your project, why the project is necessary and when you want the project to happen.
It will take some time to talk to others in your community about the need for and benefits of your project, to develop partnerships and obtain other financial or in-kind contributions, to get quotes or indicative costings and to get letters of support.
If you have a project idea that you would like to seek funding from the TCF for, you are encouraged to talk to Tasmanian Community Fund staff (6232 7395) as soon as possible.
