Not-for-profit groups operating in the Caroline Springs, Burnside and Burnside Heights area are invited to apply for a financial grant to support their local community project through the 2023 Modeina Community Fund.

Submissions opened on July 31 and close at 5pm on Monday, September 11.

Now in its sixth year, the Modeina Community Fund grant program is an initiative of the Dennis Family Corporation, the developer of Modeina estate, who this year, has distributed more than $1 million in financial grants to not-for-profit groups and organisations across their communities.

Dennis Family Group director Grant Dennis. said the Modeina Community Fund has assisted a broad cross-section of the Caroline Springs, Burnside and Burnside Heights communities to help make many programs and projects possible.

“We’re proud to continue to support local communities by providing financial assistance in areas where we operate our business and recognise the important role not-for-profit groups play in

connecting people and fostering community spirit,” he said.

“Our Community Fund presentation nights have become an annual highlight for the Dennis Family Corporation and the many not-for-profit groups that we assist, and look forward to adding even more community groups from the Melton area to our long list of deserving Community Fund recipients.”

To be considered for a grant, not-for-profit community groups must operate within the Caroline Springs, Burnside and Burnside Heights area and meet the eligibility criteria detailed on the application form, which is available online.

An independent judging panel will assess applications and successful recipients will be notified in September.
