$150,000 in grants funding coming to Ballarat
Ballarat community groups are set to benefit with a grant opportunities opening soon.
This grant program to be administered by the Federal Member for Ballarat is the Stronger Community Programme.
“This grant program offer exciting funding opportunities for community groups across our region”, Ms King said.
The 6th round of the Stronger Communities Programme will fund small capital projects that improve local community participation and contribute to vibrant and viable communities.
“I know that many community groups have been waiting for the next round of the Stronger Communities Program – and I look forward to seeing the wonderful projects which are put forward for funding.”
“Previous rounds have seen funding allocated to the sorts of projects which make our communities more vibrant and liveable”.
“Grants made in the previous round saw the Blackwood Cricket Club purchase a mini-bus, Ballan Recreation Reserve build a new playground, Ballarat South Senior Citizens upgrade their kitchen, Legacy House upgrade their kitchen, and the Neighbours Place in Bacchus Marsh expand their emergency food bank and microfinance services.”
“I encourage all eligible groups to apply.”
