The $750 Quick Response Grant program has been designed to support community groups to facilitate smaller projects that are significantly less costly than the amount available from the annual Community Grant stream.
The Quick Response Grants are available year-round. These grants have a quicker assessment timeframe to facilitate adequately timed responses for the community. Quick Responses Grants will close when the funding allocation is exhausted. Applicants are not guaranteed funding, nor can applicants be guaranteed to be granted the total amount of funding they have requested.
Applications are assessed by an internal panel consisting of two Council staff members. Recommendations are tabled for approval at the next Council Meeting.
Before proceeding with this application, please ensure you have thoroughly read the Grant Guidelines to determine if you are eligible to apply for this grant and to understand the grant requirements.
Please note that incomplete applications or those submitted after the closing date will not be considered.
The initial section of this form is designed to assess your application eligibility. It's crucial that you complete these questions first to ensure your organisation qualifies for the grant before proceeding further.
Applicants who have auspiced a separate community group's application are still eligible to apply for their own grant.
If you have any questions in regards to the eligibility criteria, please contact the Community Development team on 5760 2600 or email grants@benalla.vic.gov.au.
