The 2012 grants have increased by over 50% from 2011, to $77,347, with a 100% increase in the maximum individual grant available to $20,000, which has enabled grant seekers to initiate longer term more strategic projects. Applications were received for over $150,000, which indicates the continuing need of the community for funding and grants in these tough economic times.
