The latest round of ‘Mia’s Local Hero Grants’ has been opened to eligible groups and individuals
living in the electorate of Central Wheatbelt.
It is the tenth round of the small grant funding program provided by Hon Mia Davies MLA.
“These small grants are designed to support groups and people in the electorate who work hard
to support and inspire their community,” Ms Davies said.
“This round of the program will provide amounts of up to $200 for local groups who support and
enrich our communities.”
Ms Davies said the grants provided an opportunity to show her support, thanks and appreciation
for the hardworking volunteer and not-for-profit organisations that make such a difference in our
community.
“I encourage everyone that is eligible to make an application as it’s hotly contested and there are
many deserving projects, people and event in the electorate,” Ms Davies said.
“The funds could be used to support or sponsor a local event, contribute toward the purchase of
new equipment or materials, or to assist your group to better support your members or
community.”
“I’m looking forward to receiving the applications, and if anyone has concerns about their
eligibility, they should contact my office.”
Successful applicants from the previous round include the Beacon Progress Association,
Cunderdin Youth Council and Kellerberrin Pistol Club.
“The funding also supported the setting up of a Community Pantry through the Brookton Onwards
Town Team, it enabled the Beverley CRC to engage in hands-on activites with the Early Years
Network and helped with celebrations for 100 years of the CWA in Nungarin.”
Round 10 opens on Friday 18th October 2024 and closes at 4.00pm on Wednesday 6
the November
2024.
