Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) has today endorsed more than $340,000 to injected back into the community through Round One of the 2023/24 Community Grants Program.
55 applications were successful in obtaining funding across the seven funding schemes including Sport and Recreation, Event Support, Community Economic Development, Sports Tourism, Environment, Cultural and Arts Support and the Community Support Grant programs.
TRC Environment and Community Portfolio Chair Cr James O’Shea said the 55 successful applications totalling $342,884 would assist a variety of groups across the Toowoomba region.
“The TRC Community Grants Program is an important way for Council to support community groups, sporting club and not-for-profits with projects and initiatives which benefit the wider community.
“Groups such as the Pittsworth Vikings Soccer Club, Darling Downs Rifle Club, Gowrie Little Plain Community Centre, Lions Club of Millmerran, Crows Nest Progress, Recreation and Tourism Association, Brymaroo Rodeo Campdraft Committee, and the Toowoomba Turf Club were all successful with their applications in this round of community grants.
“Council has been working hard behind the scenes to assist clubs and community groups with their applications and I thank and acknowledge Council’s teams in this regard,” Cr O’Shea said.
