APPLICATIONS for the annual Kingston Council grant program opens next week.
In the 2021/2022 year, $1.6 million in grant funding was handed out.
Applications open on 31 January, and close on 31 March.
Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said that the grants would “give local community groups a valuable boost to continue their good work and the program is also an equitable way for our community to seek funding assistance from council.”
“Our grants program was established to enable partnerships between Council and our community to address needs, support initiatives that strengthen community participation, development and inclusion and foster support,” he said.
Council says that to be eligible, applicants must be not-for-profit and managed by a volunteer board or committee of management, be incorporated or auspiced by another incorporated organisation that will accept legal and financial responsibility for the project or activity, and be physically located inside the Kingston Council municipality.
