Deadline: 25-Sep-20
The Mumbulla Foundation is the community foundation of the Bega Valley Shire. The Foundation raises money to give grants to a local charity and not-for-profit organizations for projects that benefit people living in the Shire.
These grants are disbursed in two ways;
- Annual Grants – Small and Large
- Emergency Grants
The Foundation, in partnership with the Bega Valley Shire Council, offers funds each year to improve the economic, environmental, social, and cultural wellbeing of people in the Bega Valley Shire.
The Mumbulla Foundation’s primary objective is to help locally based groups who are providing and/or creating opportunities and services which may not be readily available in the Valley from other sources.
Emergency Grants are awarded under the same general conditions as for Annual Grants. They can be awarded at any time during the year to assist groups to deal with unexpected, unforeseen, and/or emergency issues. Each group will be required to clearly demonstrate their special need and that the issue could not have been reasonably foreseen when making an application.
