Who can apply
ACT Government does not publish a structured list of eligible applicant types for this program, so this page does not show one. The eligibility criteria in the guidelines on the official page are the ones that count.

How to apply
Applications are made through
ACT Government
Not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look. The direct link to ACT Government's own application page is one of the two facts a trial opens, alongside the exact closing date.
- This round is closed. Many Australian grant programs run again, and a closed program is the reason the alert list exists: we watch this listing nightly and tell the list the day it reopens.
- No closing date has been published, so check the official page for the current round before you begin. Any date that appears there is picked up on the next nightly read.
- Confirm details on the official page before applying. GrantWindow records what the funder published and when we read it. We are not the funder and this page is not legal, financial or eligibility advice.

When does Innovation Connect ACT close?
ACT Government has not published a closing date, so GrantWindow does not show one. We do not estimate a deadline somebody may plan a week of work around. The date appears here the night the funder publishes it.
How much funding is available through Innovation Connect ACT?
ACT Government publishes a funding amount of $10k to $30k, noted as: matched funding. Confirm it in the guidelines on the official page before you build a budget around it.
Who can apply for Innovation Connect ACT?
ACT Government does not publish a structured list of eligible applicant types. The eligibility criteria ACT Government publishes in their own guidelines are the ones that count, and this record carries the link to them.
Is Innovation Connect ACT still open?
This round is closed. Closed rounds stay on record because most Australian grant programs run again, and the reopening is the one worth being early for. The alert list is told the night it does.
Who runs Innovation Connect ACT, and does GrantWindow take a cut?
Innovation Connect ACT is offered by ACT Government in Australian Capital Territory. Applications are made through the funder, never through GrantWindow: we take no applications, charge no fee and act as no intermediary. Any site offering to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look.
