Maranoa MP David Littleproud is encouraging community organisations in Maranoa to apply for funding under the Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants Program to preserve Maranoa’s wartime heritage.
“It gives me great pleasure to let the community know that applications for the 2021-22 Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants Program are now open, as I have seen first-hand the amazing work that results from this grant funding,” Mr Littleproud said.
“The Program is now entering its 25th year and has already supported thousands of projects nationally, including a number of projects across Maranoa.
“Maranoa has a rich military history and each year this community does what it can to ensure we remember those who served and their efforts in defending our nation and its allies.
“Commemoration is at the heart of our community, something we see on display each Anzac Day and Remembrance Day, and I encourage organisations to apply for funding through the Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants Program.
“2020 had an unexpected impact on our community due to the coronavirus, so as we enter into the 2021–22 grant funding year, let’s make sure that we use the support provided by the Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants Program to carry on the commemorations legacy.”
The Grant Opportunity Guidelines have also been revised for 2021–22, which includes more information around coronavirus support and new opening and closing dates.
