The Into Our Hands Community Foundation's annual grant round is now open. This is an opportunity for local communities to put forward projects that will contribute to their community’s long-term resilience, disaster preparedness, vibrancy, and sustainability for funding support. The Foundation distributed over $150,000 to nineteen community projects in 2016.

Community organisation's within the 2009 fire affected areas of Alpine, Indigo and Wangaratta municipalities are eligible to apply for this funding. Applications close 18 August 2017.

To assist community groups to prepare their applications and to understand their eligibility for this funding, the Foundation will be hosting free Grant Writing Workshop. The workshop is also an opportunity for community groups to discuss their project with Board members and to learn further about Into Our Hands Community Foundation.
