The Hobsons Bay Community Fund (HBCF) is pleased to announce its ‘Recovery Impact Grants’ which will focus on the recovery of the Hobsons Bay community from the personal, social and economic toll of COVID-19.
Hobsons Bay Community Fund (HBCF) is a perpetual philanthropic fund established to benefit and strengthen the community of Hobsons Bay for present and future generations.
Priority Areas
The HBCF Recovery Impact Grants Program will fund programs, projects and initiatives that address one or more of the four key priority areas:
- The mental health of their young people
- Family violence and its impact on women and children
- Building and enabling digital literacy for their older people
- Helping unemployed people in their job-seeking endeavours, with an emphasis on women and youth.
Aims: The HBCF Recovery Impact Grants Program aims to support the community of Hobsons Bay as they respond to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Funding Information
A total pool of approximately $80,000 will be made available for the HBCF Recovery Impact Grants Round 2022, with grants available up to $10,000.
Funding Conditions
- If your application is successful, you will be required to provide the HBCF with a progress report on your project outcomes within the 12-month grant period.
- If your application is successful, an authorised representative from your group/organisation will be required to complete an HBCF Electronic Funds Transfer authorisation form and return it to the HBCF. This information will then be provided to the Australian Community Foundation (ACF).
- The ACF will provide approved recipients with a letter of offer and once returned, will pay grant monies.
Eligibility Criteria
- Any non-profit, club, group, organisation, community centre, neighbourhood house school and other organisations or groups delivering services or programs within Hobsons Bay.
- Accepting grant applications from for-profit organisations are not generally within their guidelines, but if a for-profit body is seeking to deliver a charitable project or program, for example in partnership with a not-for-profit or community group.
- Community initiatives require the majority of participants to come from Hobsons Bay.
- Applicants will need to clearly demonstrate how their project/program aligns to at least one of the four HBCF Recovery Impact categories.
- Sporting Clubs – applications from sporting clubs will only be considered if the sporting activity is done as an integral part of, or is incidental to, a charitable purpose.
