Fourteen hardworking Nanango Electorate community organisations are set for a mid-year funding treat after successfully applying for funding through the latest round of the State Government’s Gambling Community Benefit Grants.
Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington said she was thrilled that the 14 groups would share in more than $292,000 to help them achieve important projects for our community.
“These quarterly grants ensure that profits from gambling are re-invested into grassroots services and facilities that support the whole community,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“You can’t put a price on what these grants mean for the people involved, the communities they serve and the difference it will make to the lives of everyday people,” she said.
Successful organisations within the electorate were:
“I encourage all local groups, however big or small, to apply for the next round of funding before the end of August 2014 and make the most of this wonderful opportunity.”
