Applications opening for annual grants An independent voice for the community
We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.
APPLICATIONS for the annual Kingston Council grant program open next week. In the 2021/2022 year, $1.6 million in grant funding was handed out. Applications open on 31 January, and close on 31 March. Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said that the grants would “give local community groups a valuable boost to con-
tinue their good work and the program is also an equitable way for our community to seek funding assistance from council.” “Our grants program was established to enable partnerships between council and our community to address needs, support initiatives that strengthen community participation, development and inclusion and foster support,” he said.
Council says that to be eligible, applicants must be not-for-profit and managed by a volunteer board or committee of management, be incorporated or auspiced by another incorporated organisation that will accept legal and financial responsibility for the project or activity, and be physically located inside the Kingston Council municipality.
