Strengthening Community Service Delivery
Strengthening Community Service Delivery grants have been developed to add value to the various not-for-profit community services available to the Western Australian Community. They recognise the critical role played by community services in helping to improve the quality of life for our citizens.
Priority for these grants is given to:
- Organisations that provide support to disadvantaged people or groups
- Proposals that will provide a broad community benefit
Aboriginal Services
