Community groups urged to apply for $2000 grants

Fraser Coast community organisations are being urged to apply for one-off funding for equipment that assists in the growth and engagement of sport or active recreations.  

Councillor Darren Everard said applications for grants of $2000 each in the Fraser Coast Regional Council Sport and Recreation Capital Projects Fund could be submitted between 8am, Monday 19 April and 3pm, Friday 14 May.

“Council uses the Australian Sports Directory to confirm whether a sport or recreational pursuit is recognised,” he said.

The Sport and Recreation Capital Assistance Fund aims to assist the long-term sustainability of community sport and recreation groups that actively encourage participation in physical activity and improving the health and wellbeing of the local community.

Grants offer eligible organisations the opportunity to build capacity in the sporting and active recreation community to meet and respond to Council’s goals, as outlined in the Corporate Plan.

Grants are for organisations only, not individuals.
