A diverse range of Katherine community groups and not-for-profit organisations are set to benefit from their share in $40,000 funding after Katherine Town Council endorsed the 2023-2024 Community Grants Program recipients this week.
Katherine Town Council CEO Ingrid Stonhill said the funds Council has granted would allow many groups to purchase new equipment, host community events, provide services and hold sporting events that will benefit Katherine.
“The community grants will support 13 different community groups who are respected local not-for-profits,” Ms Stonhill said.
Mayor Lis Clarke said Council invited applications from community groups for a share of the Community Grants Program each year.
“This year’s grants program was open from 1 – 31 August, and Council endorsed the recipients on 26 September. We have supported many groups, and I also want to acknowledge the organisations who took the time and opportunity to apply,” Ms Clarke said.
