The 80th Anniversary of the end of World War II Grant Fund has been established to offer eligible South Australian organisations support for activities that honour and recognise the sacrifices and contributions made by South Australians during World War II.

2025 will mark the 80th Anniversary of the end of the World War II, and Veterans SA has opened a new grant fund supporting activities that commemorate this historical moment in time.

To honour the sacrifices and contributions made by South Australians during the war, a maximum of $132,000 in grant funding is available for distribution in the 2024-2025 financial year to support projects or activities that recognise the end of World War II and educate the community about its impact on our local community.

Grants can be used for projects and activities that:

• honour and recognise WWII veterans
• deliver WWII related commemorative services or community events
• communicate WWII stories
• identify WWII sites of historical significance or conserve WWII wartime heritage
• educate the community about the significance of World War II to the South Australian community.
