APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN FOR COMMUNITY SERVICES FUND
Community organisations are invited to submit applications for the first round of funding for Dubbo Regional Council’s (DRC) Community Services Fund, which supports projects and activities that will benefit our residents.
The fund provides a grant to community and not for profit organisations to support projects or activities that deliver social, cultural or environmental outcomes to the DRC local government area and helps create, enhance or build community well-being and amenity.
There is $120,205.74 available for specific projects and programs in the first round allocation of the Community Services Fund for 2023/2024.
DRC’s Manager of Community Services Christy White said the grant helps a range of organisations secure resources and deliver valued activities and services to the community.
“I encourage community groups to look at potential activities and services they can have funded during the first round allocations for the grant program for 2023/2024 and apply to gain financial support for these programs or activities.”
“The grant funding has very set criteria and applicants are invited to visit the website to look at the criteria and determine if they are eligible to apply.”
“The Community Services Fund is a valuable financial assistance program for our local community and in the past has supported numerous organisations to deliver activities that enhance community well-being or deliver social, cultural or environmental outcomes,” Ms White said.
Applications are now open and close on Thursday 31 August 2023. Applications must be completed via SmartyGrant and will not be accepted via paper, email or fax. Eligible applications will be reviewed by an internal panel and considered by Council at its September 2023 meeting. View our SmartyGrant application form; Community Services Fund 2023/24 R1.
