CLT offers tertiary scholarships to students looking to commence their first year of full-time study.

Central Lakes Trust supports the installation of emergency preparedness kits in our local communities.

Operational grants usually go to organisations that deliver social services directly to the community and whose social outcomes are measurable.

Programme grants help kickstart a new service or series of events that are part of the bigger picture of what the organisation does.

Projects are time bound, one-off activities that have a specific budget.
