The East Gippsland Community Foundation has two grant streams opening for projects that help East Gippsland recover from the Black Summer fires.

Two grants are available.

A youth focused grant (maximum $50,000) for projects and activities that support youth focused needs; and a small grant (maximum $5,000) for events, projects and minor capital purchases targeted at fire impacted community groups.

Priority will be given to grassroot, community led initiatives that directly and clearly benefit local communities within any of the themes:

• Bushfire recovery
• Community led capacity building
• Disaster planning and preparedness
• Positive youth outcomes (specific to youth grant)

Applications close 9 October 2022 at 6pm.
