In response to the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on community organizations across the shire, the Board of the Upper Lachlan Foundation has made the decision to bring forward our grant applications for 2020.

As normal, organizations may apply for grants of up to $1000 toward specific events or items, including equipment, building projects, or covering costs on a particular project. To access the grant, you will be asked to explain the purpose of your organization, the nature of the project for which you are applying for the grant, and to attach quotes outlining the costs.

In addition, recognizing the hardship faced by many of our community organizations at this time, the Foundation is also offering small COVID-19 relief grants of up to $250 per application, to help cover general administrative and operational costs.

There is no requirement for supporting documentation for this round of special grant funding. We encourage all community based organisations to apply for this funding now. These applications will be discussed and approvals will be processed with haste.

The deadline for both types of grants is 5pm, 30th September 2020.

The application form for the regular grant (up to $1000) is available here.

The application for the one-off COVID-19 relief grant is available here.
