Community Grants Overview

The Community Grants Program aims to support community initiatives that enhance the quality of life, heritage, recreation and cultural opportunities and provide long lasting benefits to the wider community. Grant funding is available for projects within the Educational, Recreational, Environmental and Social aspects of the community in which we operate.

Five $2000 grants will be provided four times per year. Based on a set of criteria, these grants must have a direct positive outcome for the local community, adding to a project in a positive and sustainable manner.

Advertising will be in the form of the local newspapers within the East Gippsland and Wellington area and social media platforms. Once closed the applications will be assessed and relevant information conveyed to successful and unsuccessful applicants.

The assessment of the grant applications will be decided by a committee. These assessments will be used to determine the final grants to be provided. A report will be provided to the Board on the closing of each grant period.

A progress report will be required by each grant recipient within three months of receipt of funds, followed by a final or completion report within six months.
