Mayor Ruth McRae said there are three grant programs and a scholarship program that together inject $45,000 into the community.
The scholarships are valued at $1000 each and are open to students enrolled in a tertiary course (university, TAFE or another training provider) who have their home address in the Murrumbidgee Council area.
The grants are funded by Murrumbidgee Council, Neoen Coleambally Solar Farm and the former Darlington Point Lions Club and are available to organisations located in or servicing the Murrumbidgee Council area.
Cr McRae said council has funded some outstanding projects in past years and is looking forward to seeing some great ones again this year.
Organisations which meet the funding criteria can apply for the Murrumbidgee Council and/or Coleambally Solar Farm grants.
The Lions Club grant is only available to Darlington Point community groups and individuals.
Applications and guidelines are available by visiting council’s website or any of the council offices.
Applications close on Friday, March 15 at noon.
For more information or assistance with an application, phone manager corporate services Sue Mitchell on 1300 676 243 or email mail@murrumbidgee.nsw.gov.au.
