REDLANDS philanthropic organisation, the Redland Foundation, this week announced the launch of a new grants scheme, specifically benefitting community organisations and individuals living and working in the Redlands.
The Foundation's Ian McDougall Memorial Grants Program will consider applications for grants of up to $10,000 for projects serving 'the greater good' of Redland City.
Foundation Chairman, Don Seccombe, said the program was focused on assisting projects that improved the well-being, quality of life, community participation and life skills of local residents and which enhance community networks throughout Redland City.
Projects servicing the arts, sports, heritage and cultural programs, community education, community safety and other important fields may qualify under the program if identified criteria are successfully addressed.
The new grants scheme will also support the travel costs of high achieving young people competing nationally and internationally.
"The Redland Foundation is honoured and excited to be able to offer this program thanks to the estate of Ian McDougall,' Mr Seccombe said.
Incorporated not-for-profit community organisations, or groups and individuals they auspice may apply for a grant.
Applications will be assessed by the Foundation's Non-Executive Board of Directors, closing on November 30 this year.
