The ACT Health Promotion Grants Program provides funds to community, health, arts and sports organisations for ACT residents.
These grants are for capacity building and health promotion activities, field development in the areas of training for the community as well as a research and evaluation program in the ACT.

Program goals
The ACT Health Promotion Grants Program is working to achieve its vision of a healthy, vital, sustainable ACT community through these three major areas of activity. The majority of available funds are provided to community organisations to undertake health promotion projects to promote healthy living in a healthy environment, having a healthy community and being healthy people. Priority for funding is given to applications which:
- holistically address the focus areas: smoking prevention, sun protection, healthy nutrition, physical activity, safe behaviours, community development and promoting mental health in community settings;
- target people who are at risk of ill-health from long term disadvantage;
- work with the four messages: smoking prevention, sun protection, healthy nutrition and physical activity. (Note: the four messages are compulsory with sponsorship funding and optional for grants funding.)
