Toy Library Grants Program

Information about the Victorian Government’s commitment to support existing and establish new toy libraries.

The Victorian Government is investing $1.9 million over 4 years (2023 to 2027) to establish at least 8 new toy libraries. This investment will also support existing toy libraries with grants of up to $10,000.

The initiative will make toy libraries accessible to more families across Victoria. It will support existing toy libraries to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It will also help families to save money and establish new toy libraries in areas that need it the most.

The outcome of applications for 2023 grant round is now available. The 2024 grant round will open in the coming months.
