Clarence and Richmond Valley not for profit organisations can now apply for a NSW Government grant to fund a community project, Clarence Nationals MP Chris Gulaptis has announced.

“In this year’s Community Building Partnership scheme, $400,000 must be spent exclusively with Clarence and Richmond Valley groups,” Mr Gulaptis said.

“The Nationals in NSW Government Community Building Partnership program has awarded around $400 million to more than 18000 projects since it commenced over a decade ago.”

Mr Gulaptis said the money must be spent on infrastructure worth at least $5000 per project and this could include building upgrades, new sheds, disabled access ways, furniture, other equipment or vehicles.

“You will need to show that your project aims to deliver social, environmental and/or recreational outcomes, and that it will be completed by mid-2024,” Mr Gulaptis said.

“Local sports clubs, charities, preschools and museums are just some of the groups that have won grants from this program in previous editions.”

Applications close at 5pm, Friday 10 June 2022. For more information about the Nationals in NSW Government’s 2022 Community Building Partnership Program, visit: www.nsw.gov.au/cbp
