- Eight
not-for-profit community organisations will each receive up to $10,000
- Funds
distributed to groups making a positive impact on people and the
environment
The Cook Government, through Synergy's Community Giving Fund, is proud
to provide grants to local charities and not-for-profit community organisations
making a difference.
Eight local organisations will each receive up to $10,000 to help
deliver programs that support vulnerable members of the community and boost
social inclusion.
The aim of the fund is to empower local communities. All the recipients
make a positive impact on people and the environment in Synergy's area of
operation – from Kalbarri in the
north, east to Kalgoorlie and south to Albany.
The Synergy Community Giving Fund has awarded about $140,000 to local
organisations making a difference since it launched last year.
Comments attributed to Energy Minister Bill Johnston:
"I'm pleased that not-for-profit organisations will receive a boost to
make a real and tangible difference through the Synergy Community Giving Fund.
"The beneficiaries from this year's fund include at-risk youth, people
living with a disability, women and children dealing with domestic violence
issues and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
"The Community Giving Fund is one of the many ways Synergy is helping WA
achieve an inclusive, connected and sustainable future."
Comments attributed to Riverton MLA Jagadish
(Jags) Krishnan:
"The Synergy Community Giving Fund helps organisations that are delivering
grassroot programs with positive outcomes.
"For example, Zonta House Refuge Association in my electorate will use
their grant to provide a physical and mental
health activities program for women to recover and rebuild their lives.
"I'm
proud to be part of a government that supports those most in need and
organisations making a meaningful impact on the community."
