A Night to Celebrate our 2022/23 Round 1 Community Grants Recipients.
Celebrations were held on Wednesday 7 December to recognise the successful recipients of the first round of the 2022/23 Community Grants Program. During the night, 26 successful applicants received recognition for their project. $130,000 was allocated to these projects.
Grant options within the South Gippsland Shire Council Grants Program are accessible only by community, volunteer and not for profit organisations
Grants categories
The Community Grants Program aims to support community initiatives, projects and events that support South Gippsland. Community Grants are open to not-for-profit, community and volunteer organisations in the following categories:
- Minor Projects and Equipment (up to $5,000)
- Major Projects and Equipment (up to $10,000)
- Planning and Development Reports (up to $10,000)
- Festivals and Events (up to $10,000)
Round Two of the Community Grants Program opens 1 January and closes 31 March. To assist the community with their applications, a number of drop-in sessions are available. For more information, please contact Sophie Bolding on 5662 9200 or visit South Gippsland Community grants website.
Direct support from council
Councillor Nathan Hersey, Mayor South Gippsland Shire Council said, "The Community Grants Program is a great way for the community to receive direct support from council. While council has contributed $130,000 to these 26 projects, the value of them is $495,000 - a fantastic return on investment."
"In this latest round, the projects range from facility and recreational upgrades to the purchasing of much needed equipment, all of which make South Gippsland a better place to live and enjoy."
"I strongly encourage community members to consider applying for the next round of applications and take advantage of the sessions held by council. Applications for round two open on 1 January 2023." Councillor Hersey said.
