Not-for-profit organisations and community groups in Moorabool can apply for a community grants program.
Moorabool council have allocated $270,000 in funding for the program to help locals deliver projects that benefit the community.
There are five different grant types, including strengthening, arts and culture, events, development fund, and sustainability and environmental engagement.
The Community Development Fund Grant has $5000 to $100,000 available, but applicants must meet a minimum funding threshold requirement to be eligible.
Organisations can apply for up to $3000 for the other four categories.
To access these funds, groups must be able to contribute an equal amount of money as what they receive for help.
The applications will be assessed in October and November following the 2024 council election and successful earners will be told in January.
For those seeking help with their application, three in-person drop-in sessions will be held on Monday,August 5 at the Lerderderg Library, Tuesday, August 6 at Gordon Public Hall and Thursday, August 8 in Ballan Neighbourhood House.
All sessions will go from 2–7pm.
