Taylors Hill Village has introduced its inaugural community initiative as part of the Community Kickstart Grant Program by ISPT. This $10,000 grant is designed to generate positive change in the Melton community by supporting an eligible organization that focuses on "breaking the cycle" and promoting social, cultural, or environmental benefits.
The application period for the grant program runs from 11th April to 21st May 2023. Eligible applicants include:
- Registered organizations providing community benefits
- Local community groups and voluntary organizations
- Organizations not based within the local community but demonstrating benefits for local residents
- Organizations and community groups with an Australian Business Number (ABN)
A single grant of $10,000 will be awarded to the applicant that best meets ISPT's judging criteria. Additionally, chosen groups will be offered free space within the shopping center for fundraising purposes.
The ISPT Community Kickstart Grant Program is committed to recognizing and supporting organizations that have shown outstanding care in delivering essential services and projects that positively impact their communities.
