The next funding round is now open.
People interested in making a positive difference to their community are encouraged to apply for funding from non-profit company Enterprise and Training Company Limited (ETC).
ETC chairman Rod McKelvey said ETC was making available $250,000 in community grants as part of the ETC Community Support Fund.
“The fund is designed to help organisations reduce disadvantage, generate opportunity, increase support services and/or build capacity in the communities in which we operate,” Mr McKelvey said.
He said organisations could apply for up to $20,000 each with funding for small projects also encouraged.
It’s incredible the projects we’ve been able to support over the past six years.
