Doing it Differently Grants Initiative

A new partnership between Georges River Council, South Eastern Sydney Local Health District Health Promotion Service (SESLHD HPS) and Calvary Health Care Kogarah - the Doing It Differently Grants Initiative.

Grants of up to $10,000 are being offered to community members and local community groups in the Georges River area. 

  • Are you a community member or local community group in the Georges River Council area?
  • Do you want to learn how to build on the strengths of your community?
  • Do you have a great idea that will help make a difference and improve the lives of people living in our area?

Doing it Differently uses a simple and collaborative application process and aims to build on the existing strengths of communities using an Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. This new initiative aims to promote health and wellbeing, create well-connected communities and reduce the risk of loneliness and social isolation.
