Cardinia Community Foundation’s 2025 community grants are open with the potential of up to $10,000 to be given to local groups.
The foundation’s yearly community grants are the cornerstone of their work to build and support the growing shire.
The community grants aim to support groups that are working to support locals.
The only criterion is that you are local, the foundation has supported a range of groups from those that do relief work to sporting clubs.
Up to $10,000 is available for application; typically, individual grants range closer to $5,000 so that the funds can be shared widely across many recipients.
Previous recipients have been groups such as ADRA and Follow Bless Collective, as well as the Bunyip Football Club and the Pakenham and District Toy Library.
If your local group is in need of supplies or needs funding for a project, then you are encouraged to apply for a grant.
Applications will be open until 3pm 24 April.
You can apply online at cardiniafoundation.org/grants
