community grants – apply now

Applications for the annual Shire of Yarra Ranges Grants For Community Program are now open and close on Thursday, 16 April 2009.

The three categories within the Program are:
* Community Development
* Cultural Development
* Festivals & Events

The Annual Grants for Community Program has been designed to strengthen communities in Yarra Ranges by fostering active participation in local projects and activities.

One-off funding is provided to support communities to achieve their goals, resulting in tangible outcomes for their communities.


Me at the Belgrave Lantern Festival last year, BCAP, festival organisers, are past recipients of a festival and event community grant.

The Shire of Yarra Ranges Grants support initiatives which aim to:
- Meet local needs
- Generate outcomes aligned with Vision 2020 (the community's values, aspirations and priorities)
- Encourages the formation of partnerships
- Implement solutions to identified issues
