MINOR grants for local not-for-profit and sporting groups have increased from $2,000 to $3,000 following a review of the Community Grants Program earlier this year.
It comes as the Sunshine Coast Council launches the latest round of grants, which can be used for a range of projects including one-off community or sporting events or helping kickstart a new initiative.
Strong Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said the grants were aimed at building stronger community connections and boosting the local economy.
“We want to support projects and groups that encourage people to connect, activate community spaces and make great things happen,” he said.
Applications for Minor grants can be submitted under six different categories: Community Development, Community Facilities, Creative Development, Cultural Heritage, Economic Development, and Sport and Recreation. Applications close October 27, with successful applicants to be notified mid-December.
