Bloomdale and Carolina are among four AVID Property Group communities offering an annual Sponsorship and Grants Program in 2022 with an overall contribution of more than $65,000.

Savana by AVID has officially launched its 2022 program which will offer up to $10,000 in grants to contribute to the local community.

Applications for local community groups and clubs will be open from 13 December 2021 to 13 January 2022.

Manor Lakes Football Club was the recipient of last years’ sponsorship, and president Shane White said funding went towards new sports equipment and jumpers to take off some of the financial pressure for the Club.

“We were able to buy ten new footballs for each of our four teams which have been fantastic for our training sessions and continuing our junior pathway plans,” Mr White said.

AVID General Manager Victoria Peter Vlitas said the Program was designed to make a difference in the community and support those who needed a funding boost.

“This will be our second year running the Sponsorship and Grants Program at Savana and I’m thrilled that we have another opportunity to contribute to the community,” Mr Vlitas said.
