KU-RING-GAI Council is offering 100 local community organisations free access to a grant portal to improve their chances of getting funding.

The free access takes the form of individual subscriptions to the web portal worth $125 each, which is hosted by the Funding Centre.

The Funding Centre is a not-for-profit organisation that coordinates a grant portal containing over 5000 avenues for community groups and charities to seek funding.

The partnership between the Council and the Funding Centre means that 100 community groups in Ku-ring-gai can get unlimited access to an extensive grants database and tailored email alerts letting them know when grants become available.

They can also receive a monthly newsletter, a personalised dashboard and online help with applying for grants.

Those wishing to apply for the free subscription must have not-for-profit status or be a registered charity. They must also be providing a community service in the Ku-ring-gai Council area.
