APPLICATIONS for the Surf Coast Shire’s latest grants program are set to open next week.<\/p>\n

The Quick Response Grants Program will open on July 1 and has a total of $25,000 available to boost community-focused programs.<\/p>\n

“We encourage community organisations to consider submitting their community-led projects,” Cr Rose Hodge said.<\/p>\n

“Maybe some equipment is required to support their work, or they have another need or opportunity which has arisen.”<\/p>\n

Applications will be assessed monthly and remain open until the allocated budget has been exhausted each financial year.<\/p>\n

“The assessment process is designed to provide quick responses and support, enabling community to take action contributing to our thriving Surf Coast Shire community and environment,” Cr Hodge said.<\/p>\n

Up to $3,000 is available for groups and organisations to make minor equipment purchases, upgrades or replacement.<\/p>\n

Eligible organisations include charitable organisations, incorporated not-for-profit groups, schools and kindergartens, if the activity isn’t part of the standard curriculum, and more.<\/p>\n

“We are looking for clever and creative projects that increase social connection, inclusion, safety, wellbeing or health or promote community art-projects that have cultural and environmental outcomes and help upskill and equip local volunteers,” Cr Hodge said.<\/p>\n

There are several requirements for those applying, including all projects and activities must take place in the Surf Coast Shire.<\/p>\n
