Peaks Sector Support Grants project is project supported by WACOSS, funded by Lotterywest.
With support from Lotterywest, there are now two funding streams available.
The Lotterywest Capacity Building Grants (max $20,000 per project) are provided for Peaks to facilitate training or consultation/co-design processes with their members on an issue of strategic importance, and where the need to do this is immediate. The focus of this project are emerging issues that require a quick turnaround. Up to $100,000 per year is available over a two-year funding period.
The Lotterywest COVID-19 Grants (max $20,000 per project) are provided for Peaks to effectively respond to impact of COVID-19 spread in WA. Up to $300,000 per year is available over a one-year funding period.

The focus of this project has traditionally been emerging issues that require a quick turnaround; and the focus now needs to include a nexus with response to or recovery from COVID-19.
