Community Strengthening Grants Support 9 Projects

Council grants help facilitate community events and support the upgrading and maintenance of quality facilities within the community. This is important as communities begin to rebuild connection and action with the easing of the pandemic restrictions.

 

West Wimmera Shire Council’s Community Strengthening Grants program is designed to promote and increase participation of residents in community initiatives, to build and strengthen local networks and partnerships and to support community leadership, learning and skill development.

 

Council provides financial assistance to community groups and organisations to support the provision of programs, activities and services which respond to identified community needs, contribute to the building of a stronger community, develop innovative approaches and local social issues and are in accordance with Council’s strategic objectives.
