Successfully Funded Projects in Junee Shire
In the July 2022 round of GrainCorp’s Community Foundation Sponsorship program Junee Business and Trades received $10,000 funding, which will enable them to purchase a number of 6x3m heavy duty marquees for use at local community events and festivals.
Another local organisation’s application for $20,000 was also favourably received in the July 2022 round but they were asked to re-apply under the GrainCorp Sponsorship program as GrainCorp felt that the particular project was a better fit under that stream.
