APPLICATIONS for the city’s Sundry Grant-in-Aid for the 2021/22 financial year are now open.
Applications close on Wednesday, 30 June. Grant-in-Aid funding is one of the city’s development programmes aimed at providing financial assistance to registered non-profit organisations (NPOs).
Senior manager of policy and administration at the Community Participation and Action Support Unit, Xoliswa Mashiane, said the funding was approved recently by the Governance and Human Capital Committee.
She said proposals for funding should focus on areas that address the following priority areas:
• Early childhood development
• Social welfare
• Sports, culture, and recreation
• Economic development
• Skills development
• Faith-Based Organisations conducting work for the community at large
She encouraged registered NPOs to apply for the Sundry Grant-In-Aid funding before the closing date.
