“There are many community based not-for-profit organisations around the Lithgow area that are doing great work in their communities,” said the Mayor Maree Statham. “Council’s Financial Assistance Program offers grants of up to $3,000 to community organisations to help them with local projects and activities that demonstrate a broad community benefit.”

“I would like to remind organisations that applications for Round 1 close on 30 April 2023,” concluded the Mayor.

• Projects that empower young people and vulnerable community members.
• Programs that retain, respect and strengthen the local community and support the unique needs of various groups across the city.
• Initiatives that celebrate and empower the multicultural community and our First Nations people. 
• Programs that focus on promoting positive health, including mental health, and wellbeing at all stages of life.
• Events or initiatives that support and celebrate the cultural and creative richness of our community.
• Projects that balance, protect and enhance our diverse environment, both natural and built.
