Member for Orange Phil Donato MP, announces grants funding for a total of 16 infrastructure projects across the Orange electorate, courtesy of the NSW Government’s 2025 Community Building Partnership Program (CBP) – totalling $450,000.
The annual grants program ensures local organisations and councils across the state have the facilities to support more vibrant and inclusive communities.
This year, the CBP grants will help bring to life a variety of projects across the Orange electorate, including several projects in Canowindra:
• Canowindra Connections Centre: $54,016 for refurbishment of existing stables for food pantry storage.
• Lions Club Of Canowindra Incorporated: $15,000 for driving the safety of volunteers.
“I wish to congratulate this year’s successful Community Building Partnership grants program applicants,” Mr Donato said.
“This annual grant program has been an important financial support mechanism, helping to grow and sustain many local community organisations.
“I look forward to visiting each of the successful applicants in the coming months, to personally congratulate them and learn more about the projects being undertaken with this funding,” said Mr Donato.
The Community Building Partnership program has funded more than 22,400 community projects since it commenced in 2009.
Local not-for-profit community organisations and councils were eligible to apply for grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000.
