Major Community Grants initiative now open
Applications for the next round of Council’s Major Community Grants initiative are now open for not-for-profit community organisations across the Lockyer Valley.
Lockyer Valley Mayor, Cr Tanya Milligan said the program was designed to provide financial assistance to a range of organisations across the Lockyer Valley.
“The grants will be made available to not-for-profit community organisations to undertake projects, activities or events which benefit the wider community, depending upon availability of funds and the merit of projects, activities or events.
“If there are groups in the region who have ideas on initiatives or projects that could really provide a boost to the Lockyer Valley community, please apply,” Mayor Milligan said.
Council's Major Community Grants Program awards successful applicants with non-recurrent grants of between $1000 and $4000.
“To support our local groups and help build a stronger community, a total of 31 not-for-profit community organisations have been awarded grants for a variety of different projects that benefit the Lockyer Valley through the 2021-2022 financial year.
“Projects have ranged from purchasing equipment to help community groups operate easier, to helping fund community and world class events,” Mayor Milligan said.
