Small project grants on offer

If you are a not for profit in need of up to $1000 for a small project, or a helping hand to cover increased costs, the Noosa MP Quick Start Grants for 2024 are now open.

This funding is via a simple application process, with the following eligibility criteria:

– Must be a not-for-profit organisation based within the Noosa Electorate

– The initiative/payment must benefit and meet the needs of the Noosa Electorate

– The project/initiative must be ready to implement and finalised prior to June 2024

– If we advise you are successful with your application, you will be required to submit an invoice by

5pm on 5 March, 2024

Independent Noosa MP Sandy Bolton aims to distribute as much as possible of her office operating budget back into the community.

“State Members of Parliament (MPs) have a set amount of funds allocated for the purchase of equipment and other office requirements, as well for advertising on billboards, newspapers and radio, which I have never supported as I believe where possible these funds should be used to benefit the residents rather than the office bearer,” Sandy said.

Projects made possible with this funding include the All-abilities Mat on Noosa Main Beach, the Peregian Kindy Sensory Garden and Cooran Organic Garden, a transport pilot to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital which now has been funded Queensland wide, among so many more.

Applications close 12 pm 1 March at www.SandyBolton.com/MP-Funding-Partnerships.
