Grants in Action Program - 2015 Grants
In 2015, the Hobsons Bay Community Fund provided $36,304 to 9 community projects across Hobsons Bay, under the Fair, Inclusive and Vibrant grant categories.
The grants have benefited our Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities, migrants and asylum seekers, people with disabilities, and communities at risk of social isolation, as well as providing equal opportunities for youth in education and employment.
HBCF has enabled projects focused on the arts, physical/mental health and wellbeing, positive ageing, access to food and housing security and environmental sustainability.
