Community charitable trust is an independent grant-making organization supporting the work of not-for-profit groups by helping to reduce poverty and disadvantage, protect the environment, preserve our heritage, support art and culture, encourage sport, boost recreation and improve educational outcomes. The Trust makes grants in the education, arts, sport, recreation, environment, heritage, health and social services areas. Any incorporated or charitable trust can apply for funds, provided they are a not-for-profit organization that has been operating for more than 12 months. The Trust will contribute to the enhancement of equity and the enrichment of society by supporting groups and proposals that work with or for the diverse peoples of our region to address social issues, meet educational and community needs, improve equity between groups and reduce poverty through innovative educational, social and economic programs. In addition, will enable citizens to become actively involved in society by participating in community activities, the arts and culture, and sport and recreation and improve the quality of the physical environment.
