Nous is pleased to announce that applications are now open for the 2025 round of our Community Partnership Scheme (CPS), which offers subsidised consulting services to Australian community and not-for-profit organisations, and social enterprises. 

As part of our commitment to delivering positive influence, CPS enables eligible organisations to propose a project that contributes to positive social, cultural, economic or environmental outcomes.  

Applications are open from today, Monday 1 September 2025, and will close on Sunday 21 September 2025. 

Over the years, Nous has proudly partnered with more than 120 organisations to deliver impactful CPS projects.

Successful applicants are asked to contribute $21,000 or 35% of the project’s total value, whichever is higher. This partnership approach fosters a lasting commitment to the initiative and helps ensure its impact continues beyond the project's completion. 

Applications are assessed on a range of criteria including the project’s alignment to Nous’ purpose of delivering positive influence.

Nous has partnered with many inspiring organisations through CPS to deliver meaningful change. Recent projects include: 

To help prospective applicants understand the scheme and the types of projects Nous can support, the CPS team will host information sessions on 11 and 16 September.
