Have you heard about the diverse range of grants currently available to our community? They include Seniors Festival Grants (up to $10,000), Arts and Disability Initiative grant ($30,000), Community Grants, Children and Young People Wellbeing Recovery Grants, Rural Communities Grants, Arts Projects Grants and more. They are variously available to individuals, groups and organisations and some grants will close in August.
Hawkesbury City Council has created an online Current Grant Opportunities resource on its community engagement website Your Hawkesbury – Your Say. The page is consistently updated with new grant opportunities for the Hawkesbury community and includes brief descriptions of grants, funding amounts, who can apply, and the application closure dates.
It is not an exhaustive list, but it is a good place to start looking for grant opportunities. Currently the grants range in value from $500 up to $250,000 and they are always being updated.
You can find the page by visiting www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au/cg
Grants Workshop presentations and videos
Hawkesbury City Council’s successful community grant workshop series is now available as recordings and presentation slides on the Community Grants and Support page at www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au/cg
These are an excellent resource to refer to when applying for grants, either within your community group or organisation, or as a collaborative project application with other community groups or organisations.
Hawkesbury Community Learning Hub
Hawkesbury City Council has partnered with iClick2Learn to create Hawkesbury Community Learning Hub, which is a comprehensive online resource for committees and volunteers. It contains webinars, courses, and learning content about committees, governance, finance, volunteers, grants etc. The Learning Hub provides people living, working, or volunteering in the Hawkesbury community with ‘bite-sized’ learning and the opportunity to upskill.
A free 12 month membership is available for volunteers and committee members to upskill your group on grants, fundraising, events, committees and roles via webinars, courses and FAQs. Membership will provide full access to the site Hawkesbury Learning Hub – iClick2learn at Hawkesbury Learning Hub – iClick2learn
