How to find cash in a crisis A free online service has been launched by Mornington Peninsula Shire to enable individuals, businesses and community organisations to easily find and access funding opportunities available from federal, state and local governments as well as philanthropic grant programs. It’s been aptly named the Funding Finder website, and it features a dedicated COVID-19 funding page. It has collected the many COVID-19 funding opportunities available and placed them in one convenient location. If you choose to register on the website, you can use the option of creating a favourites list, opt to receive direct email alerts for your chosen areas of interest, and keep up to date with new funding additions and deadlines. Also on offer is advice and tips to help you on your path to finding and applying for grants. The search function features a filter to search by location, industry or type of project. “Now more than ever it’s important that individuals, businesses and organisations know what financial support is available to them and how to apply for it,” said Mayor Sam Hearn. “I encourage anyone in our community looking for financial support for a project or business to use this tool to help them in their search.” Peninsula businesses, community groups, not-forprofits, sporting organisations and individuals are urged to take advantage of the service.
