Community organisations across the Clarence Valley have until August 21 to get their applications in for the latest round of the NSW government’s Community Infrastructure Grants program.

Organisations can apply for funding across four categories, Arts and Culture where funding between $50,000 and $200,000 is available for each project, for Community Infrastructure projects between $50,000 and $250,000, Disaster Readiness projects between $50,000 and $200,000, and Sport and Recreation initiatives from $50,000 to $300,000.

Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin encouraged all community organisations who will benefit from one of these grants to apply.

“I am sure local community organisations have project proposals ready to go that would benefit our region,” she said.

“The funding can be for new or improved facilities, projects that support community connectedness or solutions for better emergency preparedness.”

The grants program is funded by Clubgrants Category 3, which reinvests profits from registered clubs’ gaming machines into community projects.

Applications for grants are assessed by an independent panel administered through the NSW Office of Responsible Gambling.

Community organisations are advised there will be a second round of grants under the program in November.
