Applications are now open for Toowoomba Regional Council\u2019s next round of community grants.<\/p>\n

Cr James O\u2019Shea said community and not-for-profit groups were welcome to apply for funding to assist their projects or events.<\/p>\n

Applications must be lodged by August 1.<\/p>\n

Cr O\u2019Shea said the program covered applications for the Sport and Recreation, Event Support, Community Support, Community Economic Development, Environment, Cultural and Arts Support and Sports Tourism grants.<\/p>\n

Cr O\u2019Shea said revised eligibility criteria for the Sport and Recreation grant program meant groups that had small projects that required smaller contributions could now access the program.<\/p>\n

Mayor Paul Antonio said the Community Economic Development grants would be capped at $5000 for each application, with an annual limit of two grants per applicant.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil is determined to support our Chambers of Commerce, Progress Associations and other not-for-profit groups who meet the selection criteria to deliver programs and job-creating projects that will benefit local businesses, particularly as our businesses continue to recover from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic,\u201d Mayor Antonio said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis funding is aimed specifically at empowering local organisations to deliver the types of projects that they know will support economic growth and opportunities in their own communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cr O\u2019Shea said residents could call 13-18-72 to book a consultation with relevant staff to arrange for help with tailoring grant proposals.<\/strong><\/p>\n
