Federation Council 2020/21
STATUTORY REPORTS Financial Assistance Grants The Community Grants Program is designed to empower communities to develop ideas, projects and events that contribute to the vibrancy and well-being of their town or village and the broader Federation Council area. Funding is available for start-up programs, operational costs, minor equipment and events, that contribute short-to-medium term community development outcomes. This program is an excellent opportunity for Council to support community projects that deliver positive benefits to the local community. Across the two rounds of funding, Council received 29 successful applicants across the following Federation towns and villages – Balldale, Boree Creek, Corowa, Howlong, Morundah, Mulwala, Oaklands, and Urana totaling an allocation of $55,803 for community groups in 2020/2021 Financial Year.
