New grant round to support Noosa community

Noosa Council is calling for applications for the next round of Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) and Community Project Grants, opening 9am, 1 August. 

Parkyn's Hut received support for volunteers.

Noosa Community Grants provide help to local community groups, organisations and clubs to deliver a range of community projects and events. 

RADF grants are open to artists, organisations and businesses to help them deliver arts focused projects.

Community Development Coordinator Cheryl Pattison said these grants are a great opportunity for individuals and local organisations to achieve their goals for both community projects and creative pursuits.

“The grants help organisations and individuals to meet community needs, build community skills, resilience and maintain community infrastructure along with building cultural skills and experiences,” Ms Pattison said.

This year Council will be offering online information sessions to provide advice and support to applicants and Council encourages applicants to speak to a Grants Officer prior to submitting an application.

“Our Community Development team is on hand and keen to help community groups that may need advice about completing the application process,” Ms Pattison said. 

The Introduction to Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) Grants session which will be presented by Community Development Officer Belinda Simonsen will take place online on Tuesday 8th of August, 6:00 - 7:00 pm.  Find out more (guidelines, sample applications, forms) at www.noosa.qld.gov.au/radf.
