The City of Casey will soon open applications for its Equipment and Training Grant program, aimed at supporting not-for-profit community groups.

This grant program provides an opportunity for eligible groups to access funding for vital equipment, training programs, and diversifying their community programs.

The program offers funding ranging from $100 up to $1000, enabling community groups to strengthen their capabilities, engage volunteers, and ensure inclusivity.

The grants are designed to assist in purchasing necessary equipment, supporting volunteer development, and expanding program offerings.

“We understand the importance of not-for-profits within the Casey community and their immense contributions to our community,” said City of Casey Manager of Active Communities Angie Peresso.

“The Equipment and Training grants aim to support their ongoing efforts by providing financial assistance for training programs and essential equipment.”

The grant application period will open on Monday 10 July, and interested community groups are encouraged to visit the Casey website to access the application form and detailed guidelines.

Applications will close at 5.00 pm on Tuesday 8 August 2023, so it’s essential to submit applications promptly to be considered for funding.

The City of Casey will be hosting an online information session on Wednesday 12 July 2023, from 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm.
