Literacy Now Communities program FAQ

How do I know if my community is already involved in the Literacy Now Communities program?  

Have a look at the Literacy Now Communities contact list in PDF. If your town or region is not listed here, talk to people in your community about participating in the program.  If your town or region is already participating, you can get involved by getting in touch with the contact person.

Is there a deadline for applying?

Expressions of Interest are accepted on a continuous basis and they are reviewed every two to three months.

What funding is available from 2010 Legacies Now?

Up to $10,000 is available for community planning at Stage Two of the process.  Implementation funds are possible but will depend upon availability.

When are funds distributed?

Once the Expression of Interest has been approved, community support has been obtained, a launch meeting has been held and a task group has been formed, an application for planning funds can be made.  Funds are usually received within four weeks.
