Council is calling for applications for Round Two of the 2024/25 Community Financial Assistance Donations.
Each year Council offers two rounds of Community Financial Assistance Donations to support local community groups and organisations in the Warrumbungle Shire.
Community groups and organisations are encouraged to apply for funding up to the value of $500 towards local projects that promote and support people living in the towns and villages in Warrumbungle Shire.
Applications are assessed against the following criteria:
• Activities that address gaps in service or community development.
• Activities that promote community development in a multicultural context and seek to address issues of access and equity.
• Involvement from volunteers and self-help initiatives that build upon Council’s contribution.
• Consumer/user participation in management of services/activities.
• Innovative and creative approaches to identified needs; and
• Activities that use Council funding to attract further resources.
Council will give low priority to following types of requests for financial assistance:
• Activities/services that do not attempt to become self-supporting where the potential exists through fees or other feasible income-producing activities.
• Activities of a purely social nature, which do not address the needs of disadvantaged groups.
• Activities that are eligible for support from state-wide or regional parent bodies.
• In the second round of funding each financial year, community groups that received funding in the first round of grants.
