To support community groups or individuals build skills and confidence in applying for grant funding to deliver their worthwhile projects, events, or initiatives for the community, Council is running a series of free workshops in May and June ahead of the 2022-23 Community Grants Program opening.
A series of drop-in sessions, information sessions and workshops will be offered online via zoom and in person at Erina Centre, Erina Fair and at Council's Wyong Administration Building.
The practical workshops have been designed to help applicants better understand the process, improve the quality of their application, and help community members bring their big ideas to life.
Council is honoured to be supporting local community members ahead of the application process, to better their chances of delivering activities and events that positively contribute to the Central Coast community.
