Round two of the City of Armadale’s Community Grants Program 2022/2023 will see over $23,500 allocated to 10 community groups and not for profit organisations for projects and programs to be delivered.
From camping equipment for the Roleystone Scout Group, a portable generator for the Rapid Relief Team (Armadale) to funding to the Perth United Malayalee Association for their multicultural festival, the funding will deliver considerable benefits to the wider community.
The City’s Community Grants Program provides two rounds of community grant funding each financial year as part of the City’s commitment to local community organisations who do so much with very limited budgets.
The City is fortunate to have some wonderful community organisations and volunteers providing a range of services that benefit from financial assistance through the community grants program.
Although the funding pool is limited, the City is able to assist many local organisations throughout the year, which in turn benefits the wider community.
