Trust chair, Dale McLachlan said the annual Hyne Community Trust has been supporting community projects since 2007 totalling more than $500,000 contributed to date.
“These grants are for larger projects that have a lasting impact on the Tumbarumba region.
“A great example of a past recipient is the Equine Club who, over the years, have received approximately $80,000 in Trust funds,” he said.
“They used the funds to build an amenities block and significantly improve the facilities to attract more attendees, participants and users to the Tumbarumba Racecourse Reserve.
“I encourage all potential applicants to read the guidelines carefully. We received some applications last year which were less than the minimum $10,000 value for example. A minimum $10,000 value is an eligibility criteria which needs to be met.”
Community groups considering applying for a Hyne Community Trust should review the guidelines available here and consider how their application will provide long lasting benefits to the community.
Projects must be valued over $10,000 in order to meet the criteria.
