Deadline: 30-Jun-22
The Sunshine Coast Regional Council is accepting applications for the Emergency Grants to fund projects that have arisen as a consequence of failure, damage or loss of essential equipment or infrastructure due to unforeseen circumstances.
The failure must be deemed to be an emergency and significantly impact on the organisations ability to continue to operate. Projects that are covered by insurance are not eligible.
During a declared Disaster Situation, such as COVID-19, Emergency Grants may assist where not-for-profit organisations:
- have costs that are having a significant impact on the organisation’s ability to continue to operate
- have costs that are meeting the significant community need created by the disaster
- are experiencing financial hardship, in which case, operational expenditure will be eligible
Funding must be for projects or costs which are:
- deemed to be an ‘emergency’ (requiring rapid response)
- significantly impacting the organisation’s ability to continue to operate
