Tim Bull encourages Gippsland communities to apply for Tiny Towns Fund, with grants up to $50,000 until 25 October 2024
Gippsland East MP Tim Bull urges local communities to apply for the Victorian government's Tiny Towns Fund, offering $5,000 to $50,000 grants for projects enhancing tourism, liveability, and community pride.
The Nationals' Member for Gippsland East, Tim Bull, is encouraging local communities to apply for the latest round of the Victorian Government's Tiny Towns Fund. This fund offers grants ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 to support projects that enhance tourism, liveability, and community pride in towns with populations of 5,000 or fewer residents.
The Tiny Towns Fund accepts applications from incorporated not-for-profit organisations and Local Government Authorities in Victoria. Applications close 25 October 2024
Grants impact communities
Applicants are required to contribute up to 20 percent of the proposed project budget, which can be a combination of financial and in-kind support. Mr Bull emphasised that this is an invaluable opportunity for small communities within the electorate to access vital funding for key local projects.
"These grants have already made a positive impact on various community-driven initiatives, and I'm eager to see more proposals from the Gippsland East electorate this year. Previous recipients of the Tiny Towns Fund include the:"
- Mallacoota Arts Council
- East Gippsland Landcare Network
- Paynesville Neighbourhood Centre
- Briagolong Quarry Reserve Committee
- Nowa Nowa Community Development Group
- Tubbut Hall and Development Association
"This is a wonderful opportunity for our towns to secure funding that can make a real difference in their communities," he added. Applications opened on Monday, 26 August, and closed on 25 October 2024. For more information visit Regional Development Victoria website.
