Foundation’s Community Grants now open

What would you organisation do with $5,000? We are often fortunate to have local opportunities that come from volunteers securing grants and bringing these to our doorstep from art classes to fitness programs, dance classes to table tennis.

The same can be said of community events: volunteers secure grants and sponsorship and bring culture, magic and fun right to our doorstep, while also showcasing our town to the broader region.

Or does your organisation need equipment or funds to maintain the service you bring to the community? We have supported organisations that support young people, support those in financial hardship, document our history or create public radio programs.

We are always keen to have applications that will support the older folk in our community because the income earned by the Mirboo North Community Seniors Fund goes directly to support these grant applications.

Or you may be thinking about disaster preparedness? There is also a grant stream to support those projects.

Whatever your idea might be or whatever your community organisation does, come and chat to us about your plans and we can chat through the best way to seek funding and make it happen. Drop in to Co-Space (96 Ridgway) in the morning from Monday – Friday to see Ruth or Dani; or call Ruth on 0418 301 092.

All of the details are also on our website – so you can apply online or you can talk you through a written application with us in person – whatever works best.
