Purpose
The fund aims to help build local capacity and support projects that help the region grow.
Overview
Each year, the BGPH Community Fund will commit $120,000 through an open and competitive grant process administered by the Northern Grampians Shire Council.
There are two streams available:
Small Grants: Applications up to $5,000 are available as a one-off grant for community projects. These grants do not require matching dollar-for-dollar funding contributions.
Large Grants: Applications of up to $20,000 are invited are dependent on the project and available funding at the time and require matching dollar for dollar contribution. Matching contributions can be from the group/organisation or from another confirmed grant. It is expected that a proportion of the funds will come from the group or organisation applying. The objective of this particular grant is to help community groups/organisations leverage funding with government and non-government funding programs as grant allocations are often conditional on groups receiving funding from other sources. In-kind support, as part of the application’s contribution will not be considered.
Two applications from the same organisation within the same year will not be accepted.
