COMMUNITY GROUP GRANTS/DONATIONS
With the Council budget period looming community groups and other organisations such as sporting clubs are reminded of the opportunity to access funds through the Shire of Nannup. Council will consider reasonable requests for funding for activities or projects that have a benefit to the community.
Application forms and guidelines have been simplified to assist in the process. A Council sub committee assesses applications before recommending projects for funding. It is a key part of the application process that a documented financial statement of the group requesting funds is provided. Preference is also given to applications that demonstrate a commitment either in cash or in-kind toward a project.
Community groups who received funding in the present year are also required to fully acquit the grant before being eligible to apply for further funds. Application forms are available from Council’s Community Development Officer and submissions must be received by Wednesday 30 April 2008.
