Grants to get community groups through

The grants round is open until October.

The Dyson Group of Companies has launched the next round of the Dysons Community Grants.

The program has been established to provide grants in support of the many community groups and organisations around Victoria.

Program manager Grant Deacon said the program aims to help support community groups at grass roots level.

“We live in challenging times and these grants aim to assist community-based groups.

“There were fourteen grants given in the previous round, all great community-based projects.

“The number of applications demonstrates how much need there is in the community and we will continue to help where we can.”

There are two rounds of grants annually, each with $10,000 available (maximum grant of $1000).

Eligible organisations include schools, sporting clubs, not-for-profit groups, charities, local societies and emergency services.

“Dysons is happy to be able to give back to the community. Last round saw grants go to sporting clubs, primary and secondary schools, scouts and local society groups,” Mr Deacon said.

“We hope our grants help these organisations support their communities and look forward to helping further with this next round.”

The grants round closes on Monday 11 October.
