The community groups inMcPherson,Moncrief,Fisher, andFairfaxin Queensland,CowperandBradfieldin NSW, andCasey,Monash, andWannonin Victoria will receive up to$50,000 each to turbo-charge their campaigns and help them find the next David Pocock or Dr Monqiue Ryan. Over the coming months we’ll distribute every last cent of this fund directly to the groups that have the strongest chance of winning a seat at the Federal election. These community groups are all at different stages on their journey to becoming a campaign ready to take on the major parties and win. Community groups like those in Bradfield, Cowper and Wannon came so close to winning in 2022 and are ready to go again.Others are in the middle of their vital community listening phase, and some groups like McPherson Independent have already commenced their candidate search. The Community Accelerator Fund helps groups pay for the simple but essential activities at the heart of growing a movement: - Hosting events in their local community to help build a community of volunteers
- Printing flyers and T-shirts to support door knocking efforts
- Running ads in the local paper to find the perfect candidate
- Setting up a campaign HQ that will power them through to election day
