Develop innovative projects with a helping hand

Not-for-profit organisations within the Noosa electorate can now apply for two grant funding programs aiming to develop innovative projects within the Noosa community.

Since 2017, the Noosa electorate has delivered funding grants in collaboration with the community and frontliners to develop solutions to address Noosa specific concerns. These grants are utilised by local clubs, organisations and schools to provide opportunities and create positive change.

The 2022 Seeds for Change Funding Program is targeting innovative, outside the box initiatives, big and small, that create positive change within our community.

“After the successful collaboration of the all-abilities mat at Noosa Heads, we are ready to find our next change maker community project that addresses a specific need within the Noosa electorate,” Member for Noosa, Sandy Bolton MP said.

“There are two funding programs available – $500 grants for minor projects and a major of $10,000 that targets a key issue in collaboration with one, or more, of our fabulous not for profit organisations,” she said.

Applications for both programs close 31 May. Successful applications will be advised prior to the end of June to commence the implementation of their projects.

“We are encouraging everyone to reach out to their local not-for-profit organisations to partner with any ideas that can better our community,” Ms Bolton said.

For guidelines and to apply, please visit sandybolton.com/mp-funding-partnerships/ or contact the Noosa electorate office on 5319 3100.
