Applying for grant funding will be made easier through a free information night hosted by the City of Greater Geraldton and the Department of Local Government, Sport & Cultural Industries later this month.

The Grant Information Night on Wednesday 29 June will take a deep dive into what funding is available, eligibility, timeframes, and how to present an application to maximise success for local sporting clubs.

City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn urges the community to attend.

“Sport is such an integral part of our way of life in Geraldton, therefore it is essential that we help sporting organisations in the Midwest attain the funding they need to keep our community active both physically and socially,” he said.

“I encourage everyone who is part of a sporting club to come down to the Grant Information Night and learn how to apply for the funding to help support their organisations.”

The Grant Information Night will feature Youth Affairs Council WA Grant Officer Matthew Tomich who will virtually present the process of grant writing as well as the factors to consider when submitting a funding application.

The presentation will be held at the Geraldton Multipurpose Centre between 5.30pm and 7pm Wednesday 29 June.
