Community grants from the Cardinia Foundation are still open with less than a week left for local organisations to apply.
Any local group looking to get massive boost in your efforts to better the community is encouraged to apply to Cardinia Foundation’s 2024 Grants which close on 5pm Tuesday 19 March.
Grants are based on aligning the Cardinia Shire Council’s Livability Plan, given up to $10,000 to a recipient, most are shared at the $5,000 mark.
Such grants can play a pivotal role in a local organisation whether they are just getting started or are firmly established.
Last year’s round of grants saw funds going to support groups from the Bunyip Football Club to the Upper Beaconsfield Community Centre.
Organisations focused or involved with men’s health are especially encouraged as $25,000 donated from the Casey Cardinia Biggest Ever Blokes Lunch is set to be given to groups looking to do work around prostate cancer and men’s health. These specific grants will be decided after the 19 March date, groups looking at this category can still apply after the deadline.
If you wish to apply go to cardiniafoundation.grantplatform.com, you can contact admin@cardiniafoundation.org for more information.
