United Way Glenelg executive officer Nicole Carr emphasised the importance of these grants in strengthening local initiatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese grants empower local organisations to make a real difference in the lives of Glenelg Shire residents. – health, education, and financial stability are the cornerstones of a thriving community, and we are proud to support projects that address these critical areas,\u201d Ms. Carr said.<\/p>\n

She further acknowledged the generous individuals who make these grants possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Community Fund is sustained by individuals who contribute regularly through our Workplace Giving Program, ensuring that donations remain local and directly benefit the community. Meanwhile, the Lewis Court Fund continues to provide vital support through the strategic investment of a dedicated corpus,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

UWG encourages community groups to explore funding opportunities that align with their work and to reach out for guidance before submitting an application.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly encourage applicants to discuss their projects with us before applying. This ensures their initiatives align with our funding priorities and maximises their chances of success,\u201d Ms. Carr said.<\/p>\n

The grant application period is open until February 28.<\/p>\n
