Seniors Festival Grants for 2017

Posted on Tuesday 6th of June, 2017,

The Victorian Government through the Office for Senior Victorians and the Greater Shepparton City Council is able to offer assistance in the coordination of events that have a particular focus on the participation of seniors within our community.

The event will be run in October 2017 and the limited funding is intended to support a range of activities and events that will allow seniors to participate in physical activities or attend social events and functions.

Funding support is available for the following:

Community wide projects and activities, projects providing activities and outcomes that are accessible to the whole community
Community group and individual projects, projects which provide activities and outcomes for specific community groups and individuals

Funding is provided on a one-off basis to a maximum of $200 per grant. Groups and individuals making applications are encouraged to apply for funding prior to the detailed planning of their proposed project commencing.

Applicants and groups must be residents of Greater Shepparton. The proposed project should be able to demonstrate broad community benefit.

Funding will not be provided for capital works of any nature.
