Royalties for Regions workshops
A series of workshops will be held across the region this month to inform people about applying for funding through the Royalties for Regions – South West Regional Grants Scheme.
The South West Development Commission is conducting the workshops in Manjimup, Bunbury and Margaret River to give groups and organisations a clear understanding of the grants application process.
Commission chief executive officer Don Punch encouraged people to attend one of the information sessions before completing their application for a share of the $3.5 million available through the current round of funding.
“The current round of the South West Regional Grants Scheme closes on February 10 2010 so there is plenty of time for people to fill in the necessary forms,” he said.
“The information available at the workshops will be helpful in putting together grant applications.
“Attendees will receive general information about applying for grants and the business plan requirements for larger projects.”
