Community Assistance Fund open for applications

Published on 17 August 2023

Round One of Moyne Shire Council’s 2023/24 Community Assistance Fund is now open for applications.

The well-subscribed annual program aims to build stronger communities and deliver benefits to residents and visitors through grants to community-led projects and facility improvements.

Mayor, Cr Karen Foster said the Community Assistance Fund is a valuable Council program and she encourages all eligible community groups to consider applying.

“This fund helps us support even more groups in our community with their important work,” Cr Foster said.

“Up to $3,000 is available for small community-based projects or activities, and up to $15,000 for larger purchases or capital works.

There are four different funding streams available, so it’s really important that people head online to read the eligibility criteria.

One of the mandatory requirements is applicants must first speak with a Council Program Officer before lodging their application,” she said.

Applications close on Monday September 11.
