Greater Western Water (GWW) has opened its latest round of Thriving Communities grants, and community groups and event organisers are encouraged to apply.<\/p>\n
Up to $5,000 is on offer for eligible community-based activities supporting equity, opportunity and inclusivity, including but not limited to, festivals, community events, and cultural projects.<\/p>\n
Up to $20,000 is also on offer in the form of community grants.<\/p>\n
General Manager Strategy and Partnerships, Kessia Thompson, said following the success of the inaugural funding round, with $125,000 awarded to 16 organisations, GWW was excited to see what the next round would hold.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’ve already seen some of the recipients from last year kick off their projects encouraging everything from connection, learning and celebration, to wellbeing of People and Country,\u201d Ms Thompson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2023, we want to build on that success. Applicants may have projects with a focus on equity, opportunity or inclusivity or they might be dedicated to helping the environment, individuals, or industry to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Thompson pointed to the Little Book of Resilient Riddell led by the Riddells Creek Neighbourhood House, as an example of a project that GWW were proud to support.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe initiative will explore how the town would survive and thrive following adversity. It will see collaboration across the community with groups including Cool Change, Scribes and Scribblers, the Riddell Roundup and the local Primary school come together to bring the book to fruition,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a result of this project, the township will have increased capacity to organise, coordinate and respond to adversity in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Applicants must provide a detailed budget of the project and clearly describe how the funding will contribute to the project\u2019s success. The project must also be delivered between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024 to be eligible.<\/p>\n
Applications will close on 6 April 2023. For more information and to apply, visit www.gww.com.au\/about\/community\/grants-sponsorships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
