The latest round of Cowra Shire Council’s Community Grants Program has seen another 21 community organisations benefit from $20,646.56 worth of funding.
Groups from Gooloogong, Woodstock and Morongla as well as Cowra, have been recipients of funding through the initiative which has been driven by Cowra Shire Council for the past eight years.
The program, which has run across 16 rounds has funded 332 projects, with a combined total of $363,983.34 for community groups, clubs and associations.
“The grants have been vital for these parties to continue to operate and help with the replacement of items, purchase of new stock or running of their organisations especially since the floods last year,” said Mayor West.
Mayor West’s sentiments were echoed by many worthy recipients at the presentation last month including David Porter, President of Cowra Triathlon Club Inc., who was extremely happy with their donation. “We lost a fair bit during the floods so the funding from Cowra Shire is extremely important and we are very appreciative,” Mr. Porter said.
