The Community Partnerships Program allows not-for-profit community groups to apply for funding to carry out physical improvements to buildings or grounds that will benefit the Wyndham community. Applications involving the staging of community events, running of short-term programs, or the purchase of equipment should be submitted to the Community Grants Scheme.
Under the program eligible groups can apply for grants of up to $40,000. Groups must provide a matching (dollar for dollar) contribution towards the project either in cash or in kind (such as volunteer labour, donated materials, or borrowed equipment). Unincorporated groups are not eligible to apply under this program.
Full details of the eligibility and assessment criteria are available in the Community Partnerships Program Guidelines. To apply groups need to complete and submit the Community Partnerships Program Application Form.
Closing Dates for the Scheme are as follows:
19th February 2008 (for projects between 1st Apr 08 & 31st Mar 09)
6th May 2008 (for projects between 1st Jul 08 & 30th Jun 09)
12th August 2008 (for projects between 1st Oct 08 & 30th Sep 09)
