The next round of the Dysons Community Grants program is open in March.
The Dyson Group of Companies, incorporating the legendary Cobb and Co brand, is running the grants program for the fourth year.
The program was established to provide grants in support of the many sporting, educational, welfare and community groups around Victoria, and to date more than 80 grants have been distributed.
Program manager Grant Deacon said the program aims to support a range of community-based organisations at grass roots level.
“The Dyson Group is very happy to be able to support so many community groups,” he said. “We are pleased that our grants can make a difference to so many people who work and volunteer
with these groups by helping them with their special projects.”
There are two rounds of grants annually, each with $10,000 available with maximum grants of $1000.
Eligible organisations include pre-schools, primary and secondary schools, sporting clubs, not-for-profit groups, charities, welfare agencies, local societies and volunteer emergency services.
Mr Deacon said so many community groups rely on volunteers to deliver their services.
“We are so grateful for their work and excited to be able to support them,” he said. “The applications we receive demonstrate the aims and achievements of so many hard working people.”
The grants program will open on March 1 and run to March 31.
