City to offer grant funding for locals building a Better Bayswater
Community groups and not-for-profit organisations are invited to apply for Better Bayswater Grant funding from 1 to 31 October.
Eligible community groups and organisations are invited to apply for up to $5,000 in funding for projects or programs that support the local community, as part of round one of the City's 2024/2025 Better Bayswater Grant.
From 1 to 31 October, the City is offering up to half the funds required for projects that support community connection, health and wellbeing or vulnerable people in the Bayswater community. Successful applicants can match the City's contribution with cash, in-kind support such as volunteering, or a combination of both.
Last round, not-for-profit organisation Spear Foundation received Better Bayswater Grant funding towards their Everlasting Elders program, which focuses on re-kindling connections between Aboriginal Elders and youth to strengthen cultural ties for future generations. Grant funding allowed the organisation to facilitate an Art Therapy Session where Elders and Guildford Grammer School students collaborated to create artworks exploring their connection to Country.
