PENINSULA Quarries is inviting applications for a share of $5000 it will distribute this year through its community grants program. The program is open to not-for-profit organisations in the Somerville, Tyabb and Mornington areas.
Last year, grants were allocated to a family day event, two primary schools and a recreation reserve. Somerville Family Day received $2500 to provide first aid for the the event, Tyabb Primary School received $1500 for improvements to its environment centre, Somerville Rise Primary School received $1500 to upgrade its courtyard and the Emu Plains Racecourse and Recreation Reserve received $2800 for repairs to its roads and footpaths.
Chair of Peninsula Quarries Community Engagement Group, Rob Gerrand, said the grants program offered community groups an opportunity to seek money for initiatives and projects that directly benefitted the community.
Grant allocations will be decided in July and applications close on Monday 15 July. Requests for donations may also be considered.
