We’ve awarded more than $400,000 to community organisations across regional Western Australia through our Community Partnerships Program this year.
The Community Partnerships Program offers two rounds of funding a year of between $1,000 and $50,000 to not-for-profits and local government organisations.
The program supports a range of community organisations and events across regional and remote WA, funding initiatives and events that are accessible to a large portion of the community and contribute to overall community wellbeing. This includes sporting associations, arts and cultural groups, women’s groups, animal welfare organisations, Aboriginal corporations, community resource centres and local governments.
In the recent round of applications, the 55 successful organisations were collectively awarded over $400,000 to enhance regional growth and vibrancy across our service area in the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne Mid West and Goldfields Esperance regions.
Since 2020, the program has provided over $3 million in funding to more than 250 initiatives across WA.
What's next?
Applications for Horizon Power’s 2023/24 Community Partnerships Program will open in early August 2023. Keep an eye out for a community information session near you and find out more information at www.horizonpower.com.au/community.
Our Community Partnerships Program plays a significant role in fostering vibrant communities across our service area.
We recognise the changing needs of communities and support organisations which are delivering benefits directly back into the people who live and work in the communities we serve, including those impacted so deeply by the Kimberley flood events. We value our relationships with passionate community members and organisations who are developing grassroot programs which make a real difference. The program helps enable these initiatives to deliver positive outcomes and empower our communities.
The highlights
We partnered with some amazing regional organisations that are working to make their communities more vibrant. View a complete list of recipients here.
Supporting Kimberley communities affected by recent floods
We partnered with organisations who are delivering initiatives in support of communities impacted by the devastating floods in the West Kimberley earlier this year. The partnerships, valued at $70,000, includes the Fitzroy Valley Rodeo Club for their Recreational Equine Assisted Learning and Therapy program and urgent repairs to flood damaged infrastructure, to help enable the 2023 Fitzroy Crossing Annual Campdraft and Rodeo event.
Investing in our state’s most remote communities
Partnering with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations
Vibrant communities = vibrant events
Horizon Power acknowledges the Traditional Custodians throughout Western Australia and their continuing connection to the land, waters and community. We pay our respects to all members of the Aboriginal communities and their cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.
