Are you part of a community group and have a project that you need funds for?
Maybe you want to improve your infrastructure, raise awareness about a social issue or run an event.
As well as the Community Grants Program we run here at Strathbogie, there are lots of funding opportunities out there just waiting for you to apply.
Strathbogie, Shepparton and Moira Councils have joined forces with Australia’s most powerful grant search engine, Grant Guru, to deliver a free one-stop-shop website for business and community grants.
You can simply use the search engine to find available grants and filter grants by specifying location, industry and type of project.
The website also assists with advice and top tips for finding and applying for grants to maximise your chances of receiving the funding you need.
Visit Goulburn Valley Funding Finder to find available grants for your project and register to receive alerts!
Note: You will need to select "Community" in the search panel as per below image as it is default set to business grants.
