Future Drought Fund Scaling Success Program

The Scaling Success Program will enable selected FDF projects to have impact beyond their initial scope, capitalising on existing success.

The Program will utilise existing networks to scale previously funded FDF projects for greater impact and will support activities that are designed to deliver enduring outcomes.

Scaling of previous projects will target improved drought and climate resilience for the public good of the Australian agriculture sector, landscapes, and communities. This includes prioritising the 3 strategic objectives of building economic, environmental and social resilience.

$27 million is available through a targeted competitive grant round for projects between $100,000 to $3 million. Activities must be undertaken over 2 years from 2025–26.

Applications must include a consortium of partners, with a lead organisation nominated as the ‘applicant’. Co-design and farmer involvement is required.

This grant opportunity is expected to be open for up to 8 weeks. An information webinar will be available in early October for invited candidates.

Program details may change with the published grant opportunity.
