Grants

Throughout the year, governments and philanthropic trusts offer grants to community organisations to assist their work. We have been recipients of such grants over the years.

In the last week or two, the team have been preparing some grant submissions. These take quite a bit of work and involve getting quotes, references and support letters together, while also being able to provide reports on our services and the outcomes we are trying to achieve in our community.

Paul has spent time with DHQ preparing a submission to the Morialta Trust to assist our children's programs and perhaps expand them to include parenting sessions. Mark has some information on a capital grant for youth programs that may allow the construction of a new youth space. I have submitted a grant application to the Community Benefit SA council seeking to help us create a storage space and open up the Marion area where Kids Church is held so that we have more space.

We will keep you informed if any of these grant submissions are successful.
