Groups urged to step up for cash

COMMUNITY, arts and environment groups can apply for cash to help them grow.
This year’s Casey Cardinia Foundation Community Grants Program will open on 8 June.
Since 2003, the philanthropic community foundation has raised funds for community groups throughout the City of Casey and Cardinia shire and dispersed the money annually.
It aims to support the social, community and physical development of the municipalities.
Community groups, charities and not-for-profit organisations are invited to apply for a grant.
Visit www.cardiniafoundation.com.au and click through to the grants section for an application guide and form.
Applications will close at 5pm on Friday 10 July.
Successful applicants will be announced in September.
