Purpose
The Rural City of Murray Bridge will provide funding for environmental projects as part of Council's Community Grants programs and associated event initiatives.
Overview
This is a fantastic opportunity for not-for-profit community groups within the Rural City of Murray Bridge to seek funding for environmental projects, events and initiatives such as minimising waste going to landfill, adaptation to climate change, water conservation and revegetation projects.
Council requires funding for projects and events to be in partnership. This can be in the form of cash contributions, grants from other funding bodies or in-kind support in the form of volunteer labour or materials.
Grants of up to $5,000 will be offered to eligible community groups subject to them meeting the criteria. Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications prior to the community grant round closures on the first Friday in March and September.
