Greater Shepparton City Council noted the awarding of more than $100,000 in grants at the June Council Meeting, with the funding allocated under six separate grant streams.
The funding included a total of $81,492.65 awarded under the community grants of Small Town Festive Decoration Grants, Community Matching Grants, Greater Shepparton Access and Inclusion Grants and Creative City Grants. A further $24,385 was awarded under the sustainable development streams of New Business Grants and Community Sustainability Grants.
Council runs a wide range of grant programs throughout the year which provide community groups, businesses, organisations and not-for-profits the opportunity to apply for funding to help upgrade facilities, improve community services and encourage participation in programs and events.
Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said it was fantastic to see such a large sum of money distributed back into the community which will benefit the wider region.
“We are always pleased to deliver grants and funding to community groups and organisations which need a helping hand to achieve their goals, whether that be through hosting an event, purchasing upgraded equipment, or running workshops and training programs,” he said.
“We understand how important this grant funding can be and we look forward to seeing these successful applicants put the funding to good use.”
