To assist prospective applicants with the application process, the Charitable Foundation is hosting a free, online workshop on Wednesday, 20 September from 10:30 am – 12:00 pm (AEST).
Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation Executive Officer, Carly Bush, said project partners with a focus on important community issues are encouraged to attend the session and apply.
“Everyone is welcome to attend our workshop, which will be a fantastic opportunity for those interested in building capability and knowledge about grant writing, as well as the application process,” Carly said.
“We are really looking forward to collaborating with partners with initiatives supporting inclusivity, education, and cultural diversity.
“We understand that times are challenging for communities, leaving many who, amidst the current cost-of-living pressures, are also facing food insecurity, homelessness, and high levels of family and domestic violence.
“We know there are organisations with innovative ideas who are making great strides for the community, and we encourage them to apply!”
Applications can be submitted here and close at 11:59pm Tuesday, 24 October.
