To receive the funding, the project must meet the following criteria: - It must benefit a community - either a community or a select segment of the population. - It must be a unique endeavour - It must be completed within two (2) years. - It must have a budget less than $500,000 (AUD). - It can generate income (though not necessarily break even in the first year).
