'Fast Funding'

Applications for up to $1,000.00 will always be open and we will work to process these smaller grants as quickly as possible.  This funding is available to enable smaller scale projects to gain funding support with a streamlined application process.

Applications can be submitted at any time and there is no closing date. Please note that there is a minimum of two weeks notice for Fast Funds.
