Grants of up to $10,000 are available to not-for-profit organisations through the second round of the 2020-21 donations program

Up to $2000 is available under the annual donations program, or up to $10,000 over a two-year period to build provider capacity to be self-sustaining or establish self-sustaining activities under the seed funding program.

Whether it's new first aid equipment for your community hall, improved access to a local facility, additional seating, or a new PA system, funding through this year's donations program could help get a project off the ground.

"The donations program is one way we can acknowledge the important role these organisations play in our community, and the tireless work of their members and supporters," liveable communities director, Paul De Szell said.

"It's always encouraging to see the vast range of innovative projects these small amounts of money can help fund, and the positive difference they can make."

A detailed set of criteria will be used to assess each project.

This includes demonstrating support for one or more of the objectives, strategies and actions outlined in MidCoast Council community strategic plan and providing a comprehensive project budget that delivers solid value for money.

"We are looking to distribute donations in a fair and equitable way, and to provide support for projects that meet a genuine community need," Mr De Szell said.
