A PARTNERSHIP between Shire of Murray and Alcoa has seen the former Community Assistance Fund boosted to offer community groups and organisations the chance to apply for double the amount of funding previously available in any given financial year.
Through the Community Assistance Partnership Fund, not-for-profit organisations can now apply for up to $3000 each financial year to host events, help with service delivery and/or strengthen organisational capacity.
According to Shire president Maree Reid, the fund aims to ensure the vibrancy, health and inclusivity of Murray communities by way of helping not-for-profit community groups and organisations continue their invaluable work.
