APPLICATIONS for the Community War Memorials Fund 2025/26 are open, with $250,000 in funding available for the protection and conservation of war memorials.
The program supports the conservation, repair and protection of local memorials throughout NSW.
“Our war memorials are the cornerstones of commemoration on Anzac Day and other important days that honour the service and sacrifice of our veterans,” Minister for Veterans David Harris said.
“I want to encourage all community groups to apply as it is essential that we protect our local war memorials to ensure future generations continue to remember the efforts of our diggers and the sacrifices made during periods of war and conflict as well as peacekeeping missions.”
There is now one grant round per year with a total of $250,000 funding available.
The maximum individual grant amount has also increased to $15,000.
Applications can also be submitted under a new category for works to war memorial precincts, as well as the existing categories for condition assessments and physical works.
To be eligible for funding, the memorial must be listed on the NSW War Memorials Register.
The 2025/2026 round of the Community War Memorials Fund closes on 25 June 2025.
