THE INDEPENDENT Member for Noosa, Sandy Bolton MP has opened her Quick Start grant program and applications for a helping hand need to be in by 12pm March 31.
“Since 2017, we have aimed to distribute as much as possible of our office operating budget back into the community,” Sandy said.
“In previous years, these funds have assisted our young Noosans access sports, major initiatives such as the all-abilities mat at Noosa Main Beach, provided emergency accommodations and the ‘Be: Noosa Connect-SCUH Transport Pilot’ which resulted in transport for vulnerable residents to hospital treatments.”
This latest grant program is for community groups in need of up to $1000 for a small
project/initiative (Project) or up to $500 for a ‘helping hand’ (HH) to assist with increased costs.
“This funding is via a simple application process; however, please include which grant you are applying for by indicating ‘Project’ or ‘HH’, Sandy said.
Organisations should also note the following eligibility guidelines:
*Must be a not-for-profit organisation or group based within the Noosa Electorate
*The initiative/payment must benefit and meet the needs of the Noosa Electorate
*The purpose of the funds should be realised within six months of the funds being
transferred unless the office of Sandy Bolton MP has granted an extension.
*Should your application be successful, an invoice is required to be submitted to
noosa@parliament.qld.gov.au for the agreed grant amount, including the relevant BSB
and Account Number before funds are transferred to the successful organisation.
