Applications for the 2022-2023 Direct Aid Program are now open
The Direct Aid Program (DAP) is a flexible, small grants scheme for development activities, managed by the Australian Embassy in Bangkok.
Through DAP, we fund projects that provide direct benefits to those most in need in the local Thai community, including vulnerable or disadvantaged groups.
DAP projects should be aimed primarily at achieving practical and tangible outcomes, such as improving community health; supporting schools and education; promoting gender equality, women’s empowerment and women’s safety; developing small-scale infrastructure; and protecting the environment and supporting inclusive, green growth.
We welcome projects from across Thailand, and particularly encourage applications from disadvantaged rural communities.

Timing
Applications will close at 8pm (ICT) on Friday 30 September 2022. Applications submitted after this time will not be considered.
Level of funding
The vast bulk of successfully funded DAP projects fall between the range of AUD4,000 to AUD24,000 (THB100,000 to THB500,000). In exceptional circumstances we can fund projects up to AUD35,000 (THB800,000). However, we prefer to be able to support a wide range of projects across Thailand, therefore projects under AUD24,000 (THB500,000) are considered favourably.
