Diprose Miller Community Fund
The Diprose Miller Community Fund assists with funding for projects and events carried out by not-for-profit organisations and individuals in our local area. We want to support those people working to make our communities a better place to live. The fund aims to provide financial support towards ongoing operating costs and/or projects which help the people in our community.
The key outcomes of our fund are to ensure that:
- Our community wellbeing is protected
- We’re supporting our community and cultural identity
- We’re helping people feel that they belong and can take part in the community
Grant applications are reviewed quarterly, with the following schedule:
- Quarter 1 – Applications open 1 January to 31 March | Funding awarded in April
- Quarter 2 – Applications open 1 April to 30 June | Funding awarded in July
- Quarter 3 – Applications open 1 July to 30 September | Funding awarded in October
- Quarter 4 – Applications open 1 October to 31 December | Funding awarded in January
This timing ensures that applications are reviewed at the end of each quarter, and successful applicants receive funding the following month.
