New funding opportunity for local
community groups
Lane Cove community groups are invited
to apply for funding through the ClubGRANTS program. ClubGRANTS is a community
development funding program sponsored by our local clubs with administration
assisted by Council. The scheme enables registered clubs with an annual
gaming machine revenue exceeding $1million, to apply 1.85% of their gaming
machine revenue to community development and support projects.
Council has recently been advised of the
opportunity for local community groups in the local area to receive funding
through the Category 1 Funding of the ClubGRANTS grants program.
ClubGRANTS Category 1 is for expenditure on
projects and/or services that contribute to the welfare and broader social
fabric of the local community, and are aimed at improving the living standards
of low income and disadvantaged people. Specific projects and/or service
expenditure areas are:
Community welfare or social services,
Community development
Community health services
Employment assistance activities
This is the first time that the Lane Cove community has had the opportunity
to participate in the ClubGRANTS program. The inaugural funding round
will be for small grants that support the local community.
Local groups are to apply via the ClubGRANTS
portal by 5:00pm Wednesday 5 August 2020.
The ClubGRANTS scheme is focused on
supporting community organisations and activities within a club's local area.
Although applicants from outside ClubGRANTS Council areas can apply under the ClubGRANTS Guidelines, preference is
typically given to local applicants.
