Community groups will be invited to put forward their innovative ideas for a share of Hunter’s Hill Council’s Community Grants Program, now open for applications.
Council resolved at its meeting on Monday night (9 November, 2020) to increase the maximum amount of funding for each application from $800 to $1500.
The Community Grants Program has been developed to financially support community groups and not-for-profit organisations to provide innovative and inclusive programs, events and projects in line with Council’s Community Strategic Plan.
The program is designed to meet the following outcomes:
Community Grants are not for recurring annual expenses, they are for ‘one-off’ projects or events, pilot programs, or establishment of a group or activity. A project will only be funded once.
Council will be hosting a Grant Writing Workshop on 17 November 2020 at The YARN with more information available on the Council program, plus hints and tips on how to write a great application.
More information on the program, including the application form, can be found at: www.huntershill.nsw.gov.au/grants
Council also agreed at Monday’s meeting to move from fortnightly to monthly meetings. The meetings will remain online, and are subject to public health orders. It is intended that the Council will meet again in the refurbished Council Chamber by March 2021.
A Draft Plan of Management for Riverglade Reserve was also endorsed for exhibition. Residents are encouraged to read the plan and participate online at: www.huntershill.nsw.gov.au/participate
