Council advises that the April round of its Commuinty Grants Program will be proceeding as normal.

This is the final round for the 2019/20 financial year. Applications will be accepted up to 5pm Thursday 30 April.

Consideration will be given for COVID-19 impacts on this program and the community will be advised in due course of any planned changes to the normal scheduling and criteria for this program for the new financial year.

Any organisations who have already received funding for events or programs that have been impacted by COVID-19 are asked to contact Council ASAP to discuss options regarding their funding in order to determine whether projects will be deferred but still presented or rescoped for delivery within the constraints of the coronavirus mitigation measures.

Council is aware that many organisations are still uncertain whether or not they will be able to proceed with events and we will work with each organisation to ensure the best outcome for all involved.

Application forms and further information on the Community Grants Program can be found on Council’s website http://www.banana.qld.gov.au/community-grants.

For assistance in completing the forms and for any enquiries regarding the program please contact Council’s Community Development Advisor, Melinda Petty, on (07) 4992 9500.
