Does your community group need funding to get a project off the ground?

Maybe you have a great idea but need to find a way to make it happen.

Since 2003 Tomorrow Today has been supporting great community projects and would love to support yours.

In that time singing groups, after-school programs, community gardens, learning supports, experiences to broaden students’ outlooks, artistic groups and technology projects have all benefited from more than $350,000 in funding.

That represents more than 70 local organisations which have received grants for projects that increase the vibrancy and connectedness of the Benalla district.

The 2023 round of the Tomorrow Today Community Grants Program opened on Monday, February 6.

Tomorrow Today Executive Officer Rosie Koop said grants of up to $5000 were available to groups and organisations for projects which will build skills, encourage connections, and improve the wellbeing of Benalla’s residents.

“Tomorrow Today is able to support projects which benefit our community and make Benalla an even better place to live, thanks to local support for our Community Fund,” Ms Koop said.

“We’ve supported more than 140 local projects over the years. It’s a wonderful resource that keeps on giving, year after year.”

Ms Koop said she encouraged anyone who had a project or idea to reach out to discuss it.

“We strongly recommend that you get in touch with us to discuss your idea so we can help you to apply or provide other support,” she said.

“Even if you are unsure whether your idea fits our criteria, we’re keen to chat with you.”

Applications close at 5pm, Monday, March 27.
