Maranoa community grant application round one is now open!
Maranoa Regional Council is inviting community and not-for-profit groups to apply for financial assistance with the first round of the 2021-22 Community Grants Program which is now open.
The Community Grants Program is a great opportunity for groups to undertake projects with the support of Council and Senex Energy. The Community Grant categories are:
- Small Grant (co-funded by Senex Energy) – $500 - $3,000
- Community Grant – $3,001 - $10,000
- Major Grant – $10,001 - $20,000.
Council recognises the importance of community groups and the valuable contribution they make to the enhancement, enrichment, and liveability of communities in the Maranoa. Council is committed to supporting groups by providing grants for one-off projects in the following categories: Community Development, Culture and Heritage, Environment, Community Events, Sport and Recreation and Economic Development.
Mayor Tyson Golder said Community Grants give Maranoa community groups a helping hand for their projects, events and upgrades.
“Community groups and volunteers are like gold in our community and anything we can do to help is appreciated by Maranoa community organisations,” Cr Golder said.
Senex Energy Community Relations Manager Trevor Robertson said Senex was proud to be partnering with the Maranoa Regional Council for a third year.
“The grants are so important in helping community groups and sporting clubs improve facilities and often buy much needed equipment so we encourage people to apply,” he said.
Tips, guidelines and application forms for the Community Grants Program are available on Council’s website at www.maranoa.qld.gov.au/services/grants.
The application period closes on Friday, 24 September 2021.
