 From 1st September 2023 all ClubGRANT requests (including waived or reduced room hire fees)  must be applied for online via the ClubGRANTS portal.

At Ettalong Diggers, the Board of Directors understand that supporting the community is fundamental and has aligned itself to ensure it remains a key factor of the Club's business.

In ensuring the needs of the community are met as much as possible by both monetary and in-kind support, we invite community groups to apply for funding to assist the services that each group offers.

As the processing of applications can take up to several months, please ensure requests are planned ahead. With the large number of applications we recieve it is not possible to fund all projects.

Category 1 Round

All applicants are directed to apply through the Local Government Area ClubGrants by completing an on-line submission.

Applications for Category 1 funding will open 1st Feb and close 31st May 2024.

With the current changes in legislation for the club grants program in 2024 Central Coast Clubs will be contributing 75% of Cat 1 funding to the

Local Government Area Club GRANTS round. This will mean that clubs may not open individual rounds as we continue to work together as a

collective group of clubs.

Please take this into consideration when applying for your funding. Community groups are advised to apply to the LGA round for full funding

requirements rather than multiple applications and applications to each individual club.

The Grant round is now open, and we encourage, community groups who make a significant contribution to our local community to apply for funding.

Further details below:

Category 1 Funding is available for specific local community priorities such as community welfare and social services, community development, community health services and employment assistance activities.

Ettalong Diggers proudly supporting our local community

 

 

Ettalong Diggers proudly donates $4390 to the Max Potential Personal Leadership Development Program Gosford

Max Potential” is a unique personal leadership development program that connects emerging young leaders from local high schools (16 – 18 years old) with community leaders from all walks of life.

Max Potential encourages young adults to accelerate their potential, build a can-do attitude, explore their entrepreneurial spirit and challenge themselves to lift their game. Three Ettalong Diggers team members, Mardi Belle, Ines Murselovic and Kim Cole were each assigned as a coach, to empower a young adult participating in the Scholarship program. Through Max Potential, all three Ettalong Diggers team members were trained in the art of coaching: active listening, insightful questioning and challenging people to think and act differently. Each became inspired as they watched their young adult grow in confidence and achieve their goals. A wonderful bonus was that the coaches learned so much about themselves and their own leadership through this program.
