 ## Community Grants & Donations 

Through our Community Grants program, Council supports the invaluable work of community groups and organisations and the contributions they make to the Central Highlands.

Council's Community Donations program contributes to the costs associated with representation events, and supports those who require medical assistance outside our region.
