Latrobe City Council would like to congratulate the successful applicants from Round One of the 2022/23 Community Grants and Sponsorship Program.
Eighty applicants were successful in receiving funding for their projects with $278,472.79 in Community Grants and $42,500 in Community Sponsorship awarded across seven categories.
The Community Grants Program aims to support community initiatives, projects and events that support the local region. They have positive social and economic benefits for the broader community and ensure that community, volunteer and not-for-profit organisations have additional funds to support their projects.
Those who didn’t have a chance to apply for Round One or were unsuccessful are encouraged to apply for Round Two of the program which open on 30 January 2023. Applicants are advised to contact Council’s Grants Officer on 1300 367 700 or grants@latrobe.vic.gov.au for assistance.
