Raising the bar for local grants
A WARRNAMBOOL-based company is giving local clubs and groups the chance to apply for small community grants.
Hire Australia, based in Albert Street, is giving back to the community via its unique bright pink scissor lift.
One hundred percent of funds generated through the hire of this lift are made available for grants of up to $2,000.
“Generally, we offer around $2,000 per grant, with a round each season, and the main criteria is that the projects benefit the south west community,” customer relations officer at Hire Australia, Jason Williams, said.
“Every dollar we get from the hire of this Elevating Communities scissor lift gets invested in the program so if you see this lift around town you’ll know it’s working to make our community a better place.
“As a local business we are 100 per cent invested in our local community and that’s why we’re giving away money so that good people can do good work to make our communities even better.”
If you’ve got a great idea and need a little cash to make it happen, simply download the grant application form on the Hire Australia website.
