Community Grants Awarded
As part of our Australia Day Celebrations, certificates were presented to the representatives of the various community groups that were successful in receiving Community Grant Funding from Council for 2024/25 Financial Year. Successful applicants have shared in $15,000 in community funding this financial year. In addition to this funding, the Myponga Memorial Community Centre was granted $25,000; the Yankalilla Memorial Park was also granted $25,000, and $13,000 was available to the Arts and Creativity Grants Program.
This Annual Program provides incredible value across the community and the next round of Community Grant Applications will open again later in the year for the 2026/27 Financial Year. More Information on the next round of applications will be available from Council, on our website and advertised in future editions of In The Loop.
