Have you got a project to make Lismore a better place? Grants of up to $10,000 are available through the annual community grants scheme.
A community information session is taking place on Wednesday, 22 March in the Lismore Council Chambers from 10.30am.
Past projects have ranged from a school building its own chicken coop to the establishment of a refugee choir to supporting Landcare works, wildlife and sporting projects.
‘The grant process is not complicated but it can seem overwhelming on first glance,’ said community engagement and partnering officer Flora Zigterman. ‘Attending the information session is a great way to understand what we expect so you can apply quickly and easily.’
‘The annual community grants scheme is council’s major way of contributing to local community projects. If you have a project that you would like to get off the ground that makes Lismore a better place or somehow enriches the lives of local people, then we urge you to apply.’
Applications for the grants scheme open on 5 April for one month. For more information in the scheme or to book a place at the information session phone 1300 87 83 87.
