The Shire of Denmark Community Grants program opened yesterday, with $25,000 worth of funding available for community groups to apply for.
The Community Grants program is designed to provide financial assistance to local not-for-profit groups to help them deliver projects which will benefit the Denmark community.
The 2021 program continues a long tradition of community funding support provided by the Shire to a range of local groups and activities.
Community Grants recipients in 2020 included the Denmark Country Club, Greenskills, Denmark Pistol Club, Movies with Meaning, Denmark Mountain Bike Club, Great Southern Classic Car Show, Denmark Community Resource Centre, Denmark Baroque and William Bay Volunteer Bushfire Brigade.
Shire of Denmark Acting Chief Executive Officer David King said the annual Community Grants program was a way for the Shire to support a diverse cross-section of the community.
“Looking at the list of successful community grant applicants last year, I think it’s safe to say community grant funding contributed to projects of all sorts in 2020,” Mr King said.
“We hope to receive plenty of applications again from community groups with ideas which will benefit our community and we look forward to supporting them.”
Eligible community groups can apply for a grant of between $201 and $10,000 via the Community Grants program, with hints and tips available online via the Shire of Denmark website.
“There are plenty of resources available to help community groups to complete a solid application and we encourage those interested to contact our Community Development Officer with any questions,” Mr King said.
Applications close 4pm Tuesday 3 August 2021 and applicants will be notified of their success in September 2021.
