Introducing the NEW Mackellar Grant Finder!
I'm delighted to launch the Mackellar Grant Finder – a free service that assists local businesses, community organisations and individuals find grant and funding opportunities. Register now to search over 1200 grants, receive tailored email alerts and manage your funding application process. Check out our top tips and grants explained for further information and advice on grant writing. This is an exciting new service that I'm proud to be able to provide as your Independent Member for Mackellar.
Stronger Communities Programme - Expressions of Interest - Now Open!
Expressions of Interest (EOI) are now open for the Stronger Communities Programme - Round 8, which provides each federal electorate with $150,000 to fund small capital projects. For this round, grant funding will be up to 100% of eligible project costs except for local governing bodies where grant funding will be up to 50% of eligible project costs. A maximum of 20 projects will be funded in each electorate. Click here to find out more information on eligibility and how to submit an EOI.
