The Community Partnerships Program allows not-for-profit community groups to apply for funding to carry out physical improvements to buildings or grounds that will benefit the Wyndham community. Applications involving the staging of community events, running of short-term programs, or the purchase of equipment should be submitted to the Community Grants Scheme.
Under the program eligible groups can apply for grants of up to $40,000. Groups must provide a matching (dollar for dollar) contribution towards the project either in cash or in kind (such as volunteer labour, donated materials, or borrowed equipment). Unincorporated groups are not eligible to apply under this program.
Full details of the eligibility and assessment criteria are available in the Community Partnerships Program Guidelines. To apply groups need to complete and submit the Community Partnerships Program Application Form.
Closing Dates for the Scheme are as follows:
24th February 2009 (for projects between 1st April 2009 & 30th March 2009)
12th May 2009 (for projects between 1st July 2009 & 30th June 2010)
4th August 2009 (for projects between 1st October 2009 & 30th September 2010)
