Deadline: 29-Sep-22
The Community Enterprise Foundation is seeking applications for its Alpine Bushfire Recovery Grants Program VIC.
This program will focus on the long term, community led recovery of Alpine region communities that were impacted by the Black Summer Bushfires in 2020.
The Community Enterprise Foundation, on behalf of Sandhurst Trustees Limited, established the National Bushfire Disaster Appeal and individual state appeals in response to the devastating bushfires which impacted communities across Australia in 2019/2020.
As they approach the 3rd anniversary of these bushfires and with communities still recovering from the additional impact of COVID-19, it’s remains critical that they continue to support impacted communities while recognising that recovery is a marathon rather than a sprint. To aid the long-term recovery of the Alpine Region, the Community Enterprise Foundation (Foundation) has established the Alpine Community Recovery Bushfire Grants Program.
The Foundation’s focus is to assist in the continued bushfire relief, recovery, reconstruction and prevention of communities and people impacted by the Black Summer Bushfires.
