Grants for rural halls
RURAL community organisations across Australia have only days to apply for funding to upgrade their local hall and community hub facilities through Rabobank’s Rural Community Hub Program.

The program has an overall pool of $100,000 available, providing the opportunity for 10 selected applicants to receive funding of $10,000 each to go towards improvements to their local rural hall or community hub.
To be eligible for consideration, the local hall or community hub must be based in rural Australia; defined as a building or space that is open and accessible to the local community; and be a place where people come together to connect, participate and support each other through events, programs and shared activities.
Applications close on 30 August. Funding recipients will be announced in early October.
