About
Investing in Community Grants (ICG) 2021-2023 was a competitive grant round which provided three years of funding to not-for-profit organisations that run programs which benefit people from disadvantaged backgrounds, increase community participation and support the health, wellbeing and connectedness of Yarra residents.
The total pool of funding available was $300,000 per year over three years.
The ICG will focus on twenty-five Funding Priorities that represent priority elements of seven of the Council’s key strategic plans.
These priority objectives are listed in the guidelines.
Investing in Community Grants are aimed at ongoing three-year projects that directly target at least one of these priority areas in order to address the needs of disadvantaged groups, develop a positive approach to the resolution of local social issues, or support community organisations to develop skills and increase community participation.
11 community organisations received grants for 2021-2023 to help them deliver programs and services that support the local community.
