A grant is a means of financial assistance given to an individual or organisation for a particular purpose. From time to time grants are offered by federal, state and local governments, private businesses, trusts, foundations or philanthropic organisations.
The Naracoorte Lucindale Council offers grants to community groups twice a year through its Community Chest.
Grant providers often use an application process where grant seekers fill in a form and attach documents to formally request a grant. Individuals and organisations that seek a grant are called applicants.
Information on grants that are available and how to prepare a grant application are available at the following links:
