Applications are now open for round two of Redland City Council’s 2024-2025 Community Grants program.
Redland City Acting Mayor Julie Talty said funding was available to support a wide range of initiatives.
“The Community Grants program is a great way for Council to contribute to the strong and active community spirit we enjoy on Redlands Coast,” Cr Talty said.
“Local community groups and individuals are able to apply for funding for projects, events and activities that deliver clear benefits to the broader community.
“More than $76,800 was allocated towards 14 initiatives in the first round of this financial year’s Community Grants program.
“This included support for website development, strategic planning and community markets through to staff education, weed management and flying fox rescue projects.
“Many of these projects are initiated and managed primarily by volunteers and I encourage all eligible groups and individuals to apply for funding in this second round.”
Community grants are available in three categories:
- Organisation Support – up to $5000 to improve organisational governance and management practices and the organisation’s capacity to deliver services.
- Project Support – up to $10,000 for one-off projects, events or activities.
- Conservation – up to $10,000 for specific conservation and wildlife carer projects that will provide positive outcomes for the environment and wildlife.
Applications for Community Grants close on 23 March 2025.
