Grants galore

Two fantastic opportunities have opened for community groups to apply for grants.

South Melbourne Community Chest (SMCC) provides grants for special projects that benefit our Port Phillip community.

The funding comes from its Op Shop at 200 Bank Street, South Melbourne. People donate their pre-loved clothes, jewellery and household goods and the profits from this sustainable exchange go back into the community.

The SMCC 2024 grants program closes on 23 August. Application forms can be found at South Melbourne Community Chest

SMCC is looking for creative projects and some previous examples can be found on their website.

Applications for the 2024 Palais Theatre Community Fund are open until 5 pm on 29 July.

If you are a local charity, not-for-profit or community group, you may be eligible for grants up to $5000. Find out more about grant and project eligibility via https://bit.ly/3Y3wRZi
