SEDI Capability Building Grants
Capability building grants totalling $6million are now available to for-purpose organisations, as part of the Social Enterprise Development Initiative (SEDI).
Announced in the 2023-24 Federal Budget, grants of up to $120,000 will be awarded to eligible social enterprises.
The SEDI Grants will allow social enterprises to purchase business and impact capability building services from intermediaries, such as financial services, evaluation and impact measurement, business services and legal advice. The goal is to equip social enterprises with the tools and expertise needed to demonstrate and expand their social impact.
