Local community organisations looking to improve the health and wellbeing of primary school aged kids are urged to apply for funding under the 2010 Woolworths Fresh Food Community Grants program. But be quick as applications close on 2 May 2010.
A total of $3 million is available with grants of up to $5,000 to be distributed to fund or assist in funding special initiatives.
“Here in Goldstein there are hundreds of sporting organisations, numerous youth groups, and several scout and guide troops.
“All of these organisations, and any others which are eligible, should definitely consider applying. This is a great program,” Andrew Robb, Federal Member for Goldstein, said.
To be eligible, initiatives must:
• be designed for primary school aged children;
• encourage kids to lead healthier, more active lives; and,
• take place outside the school curriculum.
Organisations must be not-for-profit and have an ABN or be affiliated with a not-for-profit organisation that has an ABN.
