Manningham Council congratulates the 2022-23 Annual Community Grant Program recipients, who were announced at the Council meeting late last month.
Council’s Annual Community Grant Program offers funding opportunities for not-for-profit and community organisations under three categories: Community Development, Arts, and Festivals and Events.

“The Program allows us to support our community to provide activities that benefit our communities, strengthening connections and improving their quality of life”, said Mayor Cr Michelle Kleinert.

Applications for the 2022-23 Grant Program opened on Monday 7 February 2022, and closed on Tuesday 15 March 2022. Council received 23 grant applications across the three categories. Of these, 17 have been successful.

“Due to the high quality of applications which all demonstrated a great benefit to the Manningham Community, Council endorsed the request for an additional $27,034 in funding to support these great initiatives.” said Mayor Cr Kleinert.

The Program received a total funding of $217,034 from the budgeted $190,000 for 2022-23. The 2022-23 recipients represent various disciplines, including community services, disability, health, multicultural services, gender equity, arts and culture, and sport and recreation.

Further information including the complete list of 2022-23 recipients is available on Council's Community Grant Program webpage.
