Supporting safe, active and engaged communities
Through the Connecting Communities Fund, RAC supports metropolitan and regional community groups who are passionate about leading positive change to enhance the places they live, work and connect in.
In support of our Town Team Movement partnership, local community groups, local governments and Town Teams can apply for funding to make improvements to an area in their neighbourhood. We look for projects that contribute to our vision of achieving a safer, sustainable and connected future for Western Australians.
