2022 Annual Grants
The 2022 grants were announced at the 23 November 2021 Council Meeting. The annual grants program received 220 applications, 22 more than last year. More than $1.8m was requested for projects valued at $9.5m in total. Of the 220 applications, 159 applications have been recommended to receive funding totaling $1,003,280. This is the first time the annual grants have topped the one million dollar mark. The amount allocated to the Climate Action stream was increased to $113,000. Also, for the first time, the 36 applicants in the Community Strengthening stream receive a three-year grant, lessening the administrative burden for these mostly CALD seniors groups. 72 per cent of applications were successful.
