Community Groups, sporting clubs and not-for-profits can now apply for the popular Community Building Partnerships program.

Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson said the hugely popular program guarantees $450,000 will be spent in the Tamworth electorate.

“Community Building Partnerships is one of the best funding programs on offer because it guarantees funding will go to some of our hard-working, dedicated community groups and organisations,” Mr Anderson said.

“The program invests in the projects that matter, and make a difference, particularly to volunteers who go above and beyond on skin-tight budgets to provide a service or support to their community.

“Over the past few rounds of the fund, we have seen some outstanding community-led projects funded that have had real, tangible benefits to our region.”

Projects previously funded under the Community Building Partnerships program include:

• $12,500 for new fridges at Liberty Foodcare’s Barraba store
• $44,200 to fix the roof at the Tamworth Reginal Craft Centre
• $8,500 for accessibility upgrades at Gunnedah Pistol Club
• $38,471 to repair the floor at Kootingal & District Preschool
• $36,521 to refurbish the pavilion at Manilla Show Ground

“I am always pushing to ensure that our smaller communities benefit from these grant opportunities, and I am proud of the fact that the Community Building Partnerships fund has invested significant funds into those communities.

"Applications are now open, so I encourage interested community groups and not-for-profits to visit the website and begin preparing an application for funding before the program closes on the 21st of February 2025.
