Grants now open to support community-led projects across the region

The Nationals’ Member for Euroa, Annabelle Cleeland, is encouraging local community groups to apply for this year’s Nutrien Ag Solutions Community Grants Program, with up to $5,000 available for grassroots projects that make a difference in regional communities.

Delivered in partnership with the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR), the program supports not-for-profit groups in rural, remote, and regional Australia to deliver small-scale, high-impact initiatives.

Ms Cleeland said the grants present a fantastic opportunity for local groups across the region to get meaningful community projects off the ground.

“It’s often local volunteers and grassroots organisations who know exactly what their communities need, and this program helps turn those ideas into reality,” Ms Cleeland said.

“Previous recipients like the Kilmore Men’s Shed and community radio programs in Seymour and Broadford show just how valuable this funding can be for groups in our region.

“It’s incredibly pleasing to see Nutrien step in where government support too often falls short – backing local, community-led projects that improve lives and strengthen regional towns.”

Since its launch in 2021, the program has funded more than 200 initiatives, supporting projects such as community facility upgrades, new equipment purchases, events that bring people together, and vital service delivery improvements.

Applications for the 2025 program close on Thursday 7 August, with successful recipients to be announced in October.

A free online webinar for interested applicants will be held on Tuesday 15 July from 12:30 to 1:30 pm (AEST).
