Local groups encouraged to apply for share in $10,000 community grants.

January 22, 2024

Community Groups and charities can now apply for thousands of dollars in community grants offered by Carolina by AVID Property Group – a growing master-planned community at Deanside.

AVID Victoria Project Director Danny Boubli said grant applications close on February 10 2023, and the successful applicants would be announced mid-February. He encouraged local community groups, schools, and charities to apply.

“This is the second year we have offered grants from Carolina through AVID Property Group’s Sponsorship and Grants Program,” Mr Boubli said.

“Our sponsorship program is a way for us to give back to the community and we encourage any groups or charities who could do with a helping hand to apply. Our range of available grants reflects the importance of lasting community partnerships at a local level and are typically open to newcomers and those who have applied previously.

To be considered for the 2023 grants, applicants are encouraged to visit the Carolina website and ensure their group is eligible by reading the terms and conditions and completing the online application.

The $10,000 in funding is split between successful applicants based on their specific needs, allowing more groups to benefit from the program.

Last year’s recipients were Caroline Springs Scout Group and the newly established Deanside Primary School. Each group received $5000.

Deanside Primary School put the $5000 towards equipment for their school gym including paediatric defibrillators in preparedness for emergencies. Caroline Springs Scout Group used its $5000 to buy five new, six-person tents.

Other AVID communities in Victoria have also benefitted from the ongoing strategic partnerships provided by Bloomdale in Diggers Rest, Savana in Wyndham Vale and Hillstowe in Officer.

During the past nine years, AVID’s Sponsorships and Grants Program across Victoria has provided education on environmental change with Take 3 for the Sea, promoted health and wellness amongst young people through local sports programs, community events and brought school communities together.
