Coffs Coast community groups can apply for $3,000 grants for projects supporting local veterans or boosting awareness of their role in Australia’s military history.
Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said applications are open for the $100,000 Anzac Community Grants Program and he encourages locals to apply.
“Veterans past and present served to keep us safe and this is a great chance to recognise their sacrifices, while enriching our communities,” Mr Singh said.
“Maybe it’s restoring a medals display cabinet, creating an interactive remembrance garden or researching a local veteran; let’s see what our community ideas and needs are.”
Grants cover four categories:
- local community historical research and education;
- preservation or display of war memorabilia;
- public commemorative events; and
- support to members of the NSW veteran community.
Applications are open to individuals and not-for-profit organisations including local government authorities, non-government organisations, ex-service organisations and educational institutions.
Applications can be submitted online until 5pm on 11 November: www.veterans.nsw.gov.au/grants
