Nationals Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland encourages local not-for-profit organisations to apply for the 2024 Telstra Connected Communities Grant Program.
The program, commenced in 2023, specifically targets Australia’s remote, rural and regional communities with $600,000 being made available to foster inclusion and resilience over three years.
“Last year 30 local groups and not-for-profit organisations across regional Australia received funding through this program and it would be great to see some of this funding come to our communities,” Ms Cleeland said.
“Our region is home to so many fantastic volunteer organisations, many of which need further assistance.
“Funding through this program could make an enormous difference for your local organisation and the wider community.”
A total of $200,000 has been allocated to the program this year with grants of up to $10,000 available for not-for-profit organisations providing access to information, technology, education and facilities for the purpose of building both social capital and digital capability.
Applications are now open and close March 27, 2024 with recipients having 12 months to complete the funded projects.
