Purpose
We are seeking applications for consulting projects that will help to build the capability of eligible
organisations to contribute to positive social, cultural, economic and/or environmental outcomes in
Australia.
Overview
Nous actively contributes to the work of not-for-profit and community organisations through our
Community Partnership Scheme. Through this scheme, we deliver discounted and pro-bono
consulting services to organisations that otherwise may not have access to such opportunities.
We will contribute up to $40,000 to any one organisation for a consulting project in the 2017 Round.
This is the Nous contribution and we ask successful applicants to co-contribute between 25% and
75% of the total monetary value of the project.
In total, we will commit approximately $200,000 to projects in the 2017 Round. This is in addition to
other work Nous supports through the Community Partnership Scheme.
To this end, we are seeking applications for the following types of projects:
1. Program evaluation and social impact measurement to rigorously and comprehensively
measure and communicate the impact of social programs.
2. Strategic planning, review or strategy workshop facilitation to support organisations to
understand their operating environment and develop, prioritise and implement strategies to
deliver the best possible services to clients.
3. Service design of programs and initiatives that will enable organisations to deliver services
that have a social, cultural, economic and/or environmental benefit.
4. Organisational performance programs; including leadership and capability development,
culture change programs, and governance and organisational structure reviews.
5. Other projects that will help to build the capability of the organisation to contribute to
positive social, cultural, economic and/or environmental outcomes in Australia and that
align with Nous’ service lines.
Funding principles
Nous requires that organisations co-contribute between 25% and 75% of the total market value of
projects that are funded through the Community Partnership Scheme. For example, if the total
market value of a Community Partnership Scheme project is $60,000 then the client is expected to
contribute at least $15,000 (25%) towards the cost of the project.
This partnership approach helps establish a long term commitment to the project and ensure
outcomes are sustained beyond the project timeline.
Timeframes for projects
Projects will start between December 2017 and March 2018, depending on required timeframes for
the organisations and Nous availability. Projects must be completed by the end of the 2017-18
financial year.

Cool Companies manage to stay one step ahead of the rest. They breed leaders who are rule-makers

attitude and action. Quite simply, they are… cool! This is your chance to self-nominate or nominate
another company.
Overview
What are the award categories?
Innovation Award (Innovative Product or Research): We define innovation as the ability to create,
nurture and develop game-changing or pattern-breaking ideas — this can be a new solution to an
existing problem or a startling new business or operational model. The Innovation Award will be
awarded to any business that – through being novel, unique or different — generates a dramatic
improvement over current conventional products or services. The originality and strength of an
organisation’s ‘big idea’ and/or business model will be the main focus for judging.
Global Growth Award (Global Footprint): Taking on the world market is invariably ‘cool’. The Global
Growth Award will be awarded to an Australian company that has achieved outstanding global
growth or demonstrated the potential to expand outside of its traditional boundaries and grow
globally, through innovative or entrepreneurial means. The winner will be able to demonstrate the
value of ‘clever thinking’ to global expansion.
Social Capitalist Award (Making the World a Better Place) - FREE: Social Capitalists successfully
apply commercial principles to social issues. The winner of the Social Capitalist Award will have
demonstrated the ability to address a targeted social need in an organised, innovative and

entrepreneurial way. Judges will be looking for sustainable success in tackling a social issue
while maintaining revenue growth, or experiencing commercial success as a result.
Micro-Business Award (Less than 5 Staff): There are over 800,000 micro-businesses operating in
Australia and we understand how hard it is to stand out from the crowd. The winner of the Micro
Business Award will have no more than four (4) full-time employees. The winner will have built a
market presence that is disproportionate to its relative size, through creative or entrepreneurial
means.
X-Factor Award (Exceptionally Different): Some businesses just have something that no one can
describe but almost everyone can sense. The X-Factor Award will be awarded to the company that
demonstrates extraordinary levels of innovative, entrepreneurial and creative flair. The winner of
this particularly subjective award will be assessed against the vision, strategy and execution of its
exceptionally cool business product and/or service. Judges will apply their own beliefs and attitudes
toward the concept of ‘cool’ when evaluating the X-Factor.
Number ‘Crusher’ Award (Marketplaces & Memberships): This gong will be awarded to any
community, membership site, training program, directory or marketplace (online or offline) that has
experienced explosive growth and/or demonstrated a significant impact within and/or beyond its
target area of influence.
Mobile Business Award (Apps & Devices): This gong will be awarded to any mobile app, device or
technology that is novel, has experienced or demonstrates a significant commercial potential, or the
potential to have great impact on its target audience or the broader community.
Online Business Award (Online Only Business): The internet has forced modern companies to re-
think established business functions, from marketing and distribution to human resources and
project management. This award was developed to recognise Australian businesses that are
harnessing online models to achieve positive commercial outcomes. Judges will consider the novelty
and/or innovative nature of the business model in the Australian marketplace.
Savvy Service Provider Award (Consultants & Services): It’s hard to stand out if you are a
consultant, a service provider or generate revenue from knowledge and expertise. In fact, these
organisations have been consistently overlooked throughout the history of the Cool Company
Awards. That’s why we have now given them their own award.
Super New Startup Award (Startups): Startups are almost always pretty cool… defying convention,
challenging the status quo. However, they often don’t have the commercial ‘runs on the board’ to
get noticed in the ‘cools’ when compared to more established players. This award will be presented
to an organisation that is less than two years young. That way, you’ll be judged against other nascent
ventures, rather than the ‘big boys and girls’.
Big Kahuna Award (50 or more Staff): Just because you’re big doesn’t mean that you’re no longer
cool. This category will recognise companies with 50 or more employees and will consider initiatives
to promote positive employee/employer relations, programs to support environmental and
sustainable business practices, the strength of the organisation’s brand among its target market, the
history of the organisation and its ability to overcome challenges and its contribution to Australian
culture and Australian communities.
Coolest Company Award: The Coolest Company Award will be selected from one of the 11 Category
Winners. The Coolest Company will have demonstrated success by doing things differently or
defying convention to bring about positive change.
Grants Available in November (2)

Each company may enter more than one category. However, each nomination attracts an
administration fee of $49. This fee exists to cover administration costs and to deter inappropriate
entries.
Limitations
To be eligible, the organisation must meet all the following criteria.
It resides in Australia.
It will have been operating for more than 12 months as of the application deadline (unless
you are entering the Online Business Award category)

It has a valid ABN or ACN for taxation purposes.
It is not a franchisee enterprise (franchisors are eligible for entry).
Note: The awards were initially developed to recognise cool Australian companies (businesses with
an ACN). However, some organisations that are not companies also deserve recognition. That is why
we have made the several exceptions.

years intended to encourage suppliers and potential suppliers to develop new market-leading
products, technologies, systems and processes.
Through the CNF, existing small-to-medium businesses may apply for funding to enable them to take

processed foods, the CNF seeks to support small to medium Australian businesses that want to

LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUPS INVITED TO APPLY FOR NSW
GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS
Community organisations in the Goulburn electorate can now apply for the next round of funding for
local projects under the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program, Member for Goulburn
Pru Goward said today.
Ms Goward said Infrastructure Grants support new or upgraded community facilities across sport
and recreation, arts and culture and emergency preparedness.
“I encourage local organisations to consider applying for a project that will help make a real
difference to our local community,” Ms Goward said.
“These projects bring people together to enjoy new or improved sports, recreation, arts and cultural
facilities, or help improve community safety in times of emergency.
“During this term of government, $50 million in Infrastructure Grants is being provided to
communities across NSW.”
Ms Goward said the funding comes from the Clubgrants Category 3 program, which enables
registered clubs to reinvest profits from gaming machine revenue to benefit local communities.
“Recent improvements to the program have created more chances to apply for funding and
encouraged more diverse projects,” Ms Goward said.
“Instead of one round of funding each year, there are now four rounds, while a streamlined
application process has cut red tape and led to faster assessment.”
Funding ranges are $50,000 to $200,000 for arts and culture, $10,000 to $200,000 for emergency
preparedness and $100,000 to $300,000 for sport and recreation.
Applications for the next round of Infrastructure Grants are open from 1 to 20 November.

collaborative artworks with young Aboriginal people depicting the local stories and illustrating local
natural flora and fauna.
implementing traditional burning practices and producing educational and information sharing
materials.

cultural and other knowledge to be passed between community members and build a safe, healthy
and proud community.

Aboriginal men’s or women’s groups

Dear Community Building Partnership Grant Applicants,
On Monday, 6 November 2017, The Hon. Ray Williams, Minister responsible for Volunteering, launched a new website for volunteers and volunteer organisations.
The website, www.volunteering.nsw.gov.au allows you to register, create a profile and advertise volunteer roles. The website also has a range of useful resources for volunteer organisations.
Resources that may be of particular interest to volunteer organisations that are successful grant applicants include:
Risk management toolkit
Legal resources
Way2Go – Volunteer Management resources and training
Conflict resolution toolkit
Please see attached for more details and Minister Williams’ website launch message.
For further information visit the website or email [email protected].
Kind regards,
Community Building Partnership Program
See attachment information below:
I am pleased to launch the new volunteering website and volunteer
recruitment portal.
The volunteer recruitment portal is free to use and makes it easier to get
active and get involved.
For volunteers, the portal can guide you to the opportunity that is right for
you.
For recruiters, you can create an account for your organisations and
advertise your volunteer roles.
You can download resources for the new volunteer marketing campaign,
which can be tailored for your organisation.
The NSW Government is proud to partner with SEEK Volunteer to provide
the recruitment portal.
Volunteers and volunteer organisations strengthen our communities and I
encourage everyone to get involved because you can make a difference.
The website can be accessed at www.volunteering.nsw.gov.au
