2010 Grants Program now open

The Geelong Community Foundation has launched the 2010 Community Grants Program. Grants will be given to develop projects or programs in the Geelong Region.

Applications are invited from charitable or welfare not for profit organizations, which are Income Tax Exempt and endorsed as Deductible Gift Recipients, to fund new projects and programs for the benefit of the community.

Funding is available for grants up to $30,000 for each suitable program or project. The Geelong region is defined by the boundaries of the City of Greater Geelong, the Borough of Queenscliffe, the Surf Coast and Golden Plains Shires.

While generally these grants are for a one-off activity which can be completed within 12 months and do not imply continuing support, the Foundation will consider applications for projects that have a two year life span only, with a maximum annual grant of $25,000 and no continuing support implied.

Please note that this year, there is also limited funding available for a charitable project from an agency which is not endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient.
