Funding for communities

Published Monday, 14th September 2015

Applications for the second round of 2015 community funding grants are now open.

The City of Wanneroo distributed more than $24,000 of community funding grants to 11 community groups through the Community Funding Program March round.

Wanneroo Mayor Tracey Roberts said the program provided support to community organisations for events, activities and projects.

“This program is one of the initiatives developed to support healthy, safe, vibrant and connected communities as a key aspiration of the City’s Strategic Community Plan,” she said.

Funding for this round will be available in two main categories, community development and community event funding.

Community groups are encouraged to discuss their project and event ideas with a City Community Development Officer before submitting an application.

To speak with a Community Development Officer call 9405 5951 or visit the City’s website.

The September Community Funding Program round closes on 20 October 2015.
