Green Grants Program
The Green Grant Program focuses on our impact area of environment and sustainability. The Foundation is seeking to support community organisations to deliver environmental projects or programs that have a positive impact on the local environment and/or promote environmental stewardship and sustainability.
Funding is available for projects that:
- Increase community participation in conservation and sustainability; or
- Maintain or enhance the natural environment in the Murrindindi Shire; or
- Tackle climate change, waste reduction and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Individual projects up to a maximum of $500 will be considered.
The Green Grant program is open from 1 March until 31 March 2023.
