Community Strengthening Grants Policy

This Policy establishes the operational remit of Council’s Community Strengthening Grant program so that funding provided under this program:

  • aligns with Councils strategic objectives and identified key initiatives and the community’s aspirations for the future of the municipality identified in the Moira 2035 Community Vision;
  • aligns with the intent of the Local Government Act 2020 and relevant regulations and guidelines;
  • supports projects that address social inequity, promote social inclusion, embrace diversity, and establish environments that are supportive of all people regardless of gender, identity, age, disability, culture, religion and sexual orientation;
  • does not involve Council in controversial issues such as political or cultural sensitivities, or expose Council to adverse criticism; and;
  • is used for a purpose that benefits the Moira Shire community.
