Telstra ICT Grants for Seniors Groups

Submitted by rlewis on 16 August, 2007 - 10:08.
money Mid August, Telstra launched the Telstra Connected Seniors grant program. To give a range of community organisations the opportunity to participate the Telstra Connected Seniors program will be provided in three tiers:

Tier 1: Local Community Grants $1,000 - $5000 There are two other tiers, state and national. Go to www.telstraseniors.com.au to find more details, including the application form and a sample completed application form which is very useful. This grants offer is not limited to computers it can include mobile phones and more.

Round one closes on 14 September 2007 and results will be announced by 1 October 2007. Preference will be given to applications in the order received and with programs scheduled to commence October 2007. There will be a second round a couple of months later.

You will need to demonstrate two main outcomes:
1. How an understanding of technology will provide an ongoing benefit to your club or local group. 2. How it will be implemented.

The purpose of the program is to help older Australians (over 60) to learn about new technologies and enable them to confidently use the internet and mobile phones.

When writing your applications remember that the basis of the program is to introduce technology to your members in a fun, interactive manner that solves an everyday problem of communication in this modern age of communications.
