Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) is inviting community organisations to apply for a share of the $120,000 Community Services Fund (CSF) allocation for 2021/22. The fund aims to support projects and programs that deliver social, cultural or environmental benefits for communities throughout the greater Local Government Area (LGA).
