Expressions of interest are now open for the City of Casey Community Service Organisations (CSO) Growth and Attraction Fund.

The new fund is a multi-year grant program designed to foster effective partnerships and improve access to vital community services.

City of Casey Chair of Administrators Noelene Duff PSM said the CSO Growth and Attraction Fund aims to support initiatives that address service accessibility gaps and respond to community needs.

“With a total funding pool of $200,000 per year for two years, eligible CSOs can apply for grants to model, test, and scale services that deliver more integrated user experiences,” she said.

Expressions of Interest are open to not-for-profit CSOs that are accountable to a governing body and have been established to provide psychosocial, physical, educational, financial, and other support services and assistance to individuals, families, and groups in the broader community.

Applications close Friday 10 January 2025.
