Community organisations are a vital part of our community; they create unity, assist in well-being and build spirit within their local areas.
The Stronger Communities Grant program allows community organisations to apply for funding that will assist them with infrastructure and resources to help boost their group and build much-needed facilities.
In 2017 I was able to provide financial assistance to 12 community organisations all across Eden-Monaro. For every community organisation that I provided a grant to, there was an amazing group of people who worked tirelessly for their group and their community. The pride in all that they did was evident in their faces and through their stories.
This year again, I urge all interested parties to apply for the Stronger Communities Program which will help deliver social benefits in communities by providing grants of between $2,500 and $20,000 to community organisations and local governments for capital projects.
Eligible projects previously have included: upgrades or fit-outs of community centres, sporting facilities upgrades, purchasing of equipment, bike paths and community gardens.
Please note that your organisation will need to provide 50 percent matched funding in cash or kind and your project should be scheduled for completion by June 30, 2019.
If you have a project that could be assisted by this Commonwealth Grant, I encourage you to start planning as soon as possible as EOI’s close on August 29.
For expression of interest form or any other information about eligibility, the application process and timelines, please contact my office on: (02) 6284 2442 or mike.kelly.mp@aph.gov.au.
