This will be the second Major Grants round for the 2025 and 2026 Community Strengthening Grants program, and it will support larger projects that deliver significant outcomes for the community.
The two Quick Response streams of the program will provide funding of up to $5000 for small, time-sensitive projects that provide immediate community benefit and applications will remain open year-round.
Moira Shire Council Chair Administrator Graeme Emonson said the program supported not-for-profit organisations to deliver projects, programs and events that benefit residents of Moira Shire.
“We want to support as many organisations as possible who share council’s vision for healthy, inclusive, resilient, connected, vibrant and thriving communities,” Dr Emonson said.
“Therefore, we have updated the Community Strengthening Grants guidelines to make it easier for applicants to understand the types of projects and events that are eligible under the program, and also who can apply.”
Dr Emonson wants to see more community organisations put forward their ideas for funding.
