Applications closing for community project grants

Does your community group need funding for a much-needed project, program, event or equipment?
Applications are currently open for Baw Baw Shire's community projects grants. But, round one applications close this Friday.
Baw Baw Shire mayor Annemarie McCabe encouraged community groups to submit an application and make the most of the opportunity to receive extra financial support.
"We're very proud of our local community groups and the work they undertake to make our community a better place to live," Cr McCabe said. "As a council, we want to do anything we can to help them succeed."
With council providing just under $300,000 in financial assistance through its community grants in the past 12 months, Cr McCabe said "we're looking to offer more in the current round".
"Enquire today and see if you're eligible for this extra assistance and speak to other local community groups who have been successful in the past, to find out the best way to make your application shine," she urged.
Council's community grants program provides not-for-profit community groups and organisations with funding.
It has two funding streams - community projects and minor capital works. However, applications are only open for community projects, closing at noon on Friday.
