Women’s Leadership Grants provide funding for projects and activities that develop capacity and increase opportunities for women to participate in leadership roles.
As a result, Member for Swan Hill, Peter Walsh, sees these Grants as being vitally important pathways for regional and rural women to gain and develop skills to increase their participation in decision making both within and beyond their communities.
“Far too often women from regional and rural areas are deprived of the opportunity to access these sorts of initiatives due to isolation and remoteness issues,” Mr Walsh said.
“These grants of up to $20,000 are invaluable in opening up opportunities for leadership development and I encourage organisations to look closely at the guidelines for the grants and submit applications.
“Eligible projects will provide ongoing benefits both to individuals and the broader community and I fully support the Grants Program,” he said.
Application and guidelines can be accessed from the website www.grants.dpcd.vic.gov.au
