YCC Community Grants
The Yackandandah Community Centre offers annual Community Grants to help community groups improve local facilities, services and programs.
Profits generated from our community Op Shop is reinvested into our community through our annual small grants program.
In 2024, funds were granted to 13 different community groups to help achieve their project goals.
The 2024 Grants program has now closed.
Please help us congratulate our 2024 grant recipients for strengthening community connections through our local not-for-profit, volunteer run community groups.
