Backing The Heart Of Agriculture Through Grants

31 July 2025

The Victorian Government has opened applications for the 2025 Agricultural and Pastoral Society Grants Program, offering up to $10,000 per grant to support infrastructure upgrades and community engagement projects across Victoria’s agricultural societies.

These grants aim to strengthen regional shows, improve facilities, and promote Victoria’s agricultural heritage. Past recipients include the Rochester Agricultural Society and Wodonga Show Society, which used funds for cattle fencing and amenities upgrades, respectively. With over 100 societies statewide, the program fosters community spirit and supports rural resilience, especially during challenges like drought.

Applications close 12 September 2025.
