State member for Northern Victoria Gaelle Broad has invited community organisations to apply for one of the grants, which value up to $150,000.

“These grants will help deliver programs that support children, young people and their families in maintaining good health and wellbeing as well as improving social connections,” she said.

“Applicants are asked to demonstrate how their project will create more active, inclusive and connected neighbourhoods through sport, recreation, arts and community programs using local places and spaces.

“I encourage local organisations to consider applying for this grant stream.”

Applications close on July 31. For more information, visit https://tinyurl.com/mpwpwyck
