Update: Applications closed 11 April 2021.
Healthy North Coast is inviting communities affected by the 2019-20 bushfires to apply for grants of up to $10,000.
The Supporting Communities in Bushfire Recovery program will fund activities that build social connection, mental wellbeing and resilience to support healing and recovery from the impact of the 2019-20 bushfires.
Not-for-profit organisations, associations and community groups in bushfire-impacted locations in Northern NSW and Mid North Coast are eligible to apply.
Grant funding is available for:
- Social connection activities to strengthen individual and community connections and build supportive relationships
- Mental wellbeing activities to promote mental wellbeing, healing and recovery after trauma.
- Resilience activities to help the community build its ability to recover from and prepare for future natural disasters.
Healthy North Coast has already supported a range of projects across our region through the first round of the grants program. We have been inspired by the diverse range of initiatives creating local solutions to local needs.
