Youth group wins grant

A GRANT of $6580 has been allocated to the Derwent Valley Youth Future Action Team (D'FAT) by the Tasmanian Community Fund. A record number of organisations has received grants in the latest funding round, announced yesterday.

In its latest grant round, the TCF Board awarded $2.69 million to 138 projects throughout the state. The number of projects was the most in a single grant round of applications, reinforcing the board’s policy of encouraging smaller organisations to apply for grants (up to $10,000).  A large number of approved grants in this round were in that category.

D'FAT - a Special Committee of the Derwent Valley Council, was awarded $6,580 for the enhancing of an unspecified recreational reserve.
