Our community grants help local groups run great programs. They enhance social connections and improve wellbeing.
We welcome grant applications from local clubs, community groups and not-for-profit organisations from 15 May - 9 June.
Last year, we provided almost 50 community groups and organisations with more than $400,000 in cash and $245,000 of in-kind support. The grants went to projects that promote a more inclusive, healthy, creative and sustainable local community.
Helping Hoops received a community grant last year, which they used for a program facilitator for Bounce Prahran. This program provides free weekly basketball sessions for children aged 8-16 years living at Horace Petty Estate.
Operations Manager Hanna Cruz said the grant had a big impact for the young people involved.
"The funding enabled the ongoing delivery of Bounce Prahran, ensuring young people have consistent access to a safe environment to develop key skills, confidence and strengthen meaningful connections through basketball."
