In an effort to help those struggling with the lasting impacts of the pandemic, the Cardinia Shire Council is offering assistance to locals via their new Covid-19 Multicultural Community Connection Grants Program.
The $50,000 program will provide Covid-19 response and recovery support to local multicultural communities including access to one-off payments of up to $5,000 for Cardinia Shire based multicultural community groups, services and not-for-profit organisations.
The program will support culturally and linguistically diverse communities (CALD) to develop appropriate processes and procedures to aid in Covid-19 recovery and to keep our more vulnerable residents safe and connected to the community.
Applications open on Tuesday 1 February and will stay open until all $50,000 of the funds are exhausted.
The grants program is made possible with grant funding received from the state government’s Department of Family, Fairness and Housing.
