Who can apply?

The fourth and final funding round of the Program occurred in 2011. You can find further information about alternate funding opportunities on the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation website.


What does the grant cover?

Up to $60,000 (GST exclusive) was available to cover infrastructure costs associated with building the kitchen and garden. Schools that received a grant from the Australian Government needed to demonstrate a commitment to continue the project for two years, and in the longer term, work towards integrating the project into the school curriculum.


Demonstration Schools

Demonstration Schools have been established in each state and territory to increase accessibility for interested schools to visit and act as a training centre for schools joining the Program.
