Does your not-for-profit organisation have a community project or idea that could use some funding to bring it to life?
Applications for Round One of the Southern Downs Regional Council’s 2021/22 Community Grants program are now open, providing local community groups the opportunity to help fund their initiatives.
Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said grants of up to $5,000 are available and encouraged community organisations to review the guidelines and apply.
“It has been a tough couple of years for our region and the Community Grants program is an important way for Council to support community initiatives,” Mayor Pennisi said.
“These grants can make a real difference to help not-for-profit groups deliver projects and activities that help foster community spirit and Council is keen to support these groups which do essential work to make the Southern Downs a great place to live, work, play and stay.
“I strongly encourage any organisation with a passion for a community project to apply for a grants through this program.”
Grants are capped at $5,000 per applicant and Round One closes Monday 28 June 2021.
