Through a partnership between Lendlease and the Community Enterprise FoundationTM, the 2021 Jordon Springs Community Grants Program is an initiative that showcases the commitment to creating the best places for the residents.
The Foundation is looking to fund

- Assist the start-up of community groups, programs and initiatives
- Connect and strengthen relationships within the community

- Celebrate the culture and history of the local area

What will not be funded
