Community Street Soccer, an architecture festival and urgent church restorations are just some of the activities and projects to benefit from the City of Sydneys 2008/09 annual grants and sponsorships program approved by Council on Monday 4 August.
"The annual grants and sponsorships programs provide more than $4.5 million in funding for nearly 500 community groups through the City of Sydney. This funding has grown by more than one million dollars in the past three years,"said City of Sydney CEO Monica Barone.
"Each grant or sponsorship application goes through a rigorous assessment process to ensure it delivers benefits to our community. The City is proud to support each and every one of these successful grants.
"Were particularly pleased to support so many worthwhile initiatives from our community in and around the citys heart,"said Ms Barone.
Providing grants and sponsorships helps the City to further the aims identified in social, economic and environmental policies; applications are assessed against these policies and against broad City objectives and plans.
In this way, the City and the community act collaboratively to bring to life the City of villages and deliver on goals set out in Sustainable Sydney 2030.
Among the proposed recipients of grants and sponsorship for this year are:
The Big Issue - hosting the Championship for the Community Street Soccer league.
Monkey Baa Theatre for Young People - taking a two week in-school workshop program to inner-city primary schools.
BikeSydney Advocacy - promoting safe bike riding with the publication of self-guided ride kits for the inner city.
The Sydney Street Choir - producing and performing the "Home is Where the Heart Is"at the Seymour Theatre Centre.
St James Anglican Church - restoring the historic church spire designed by Francis Greenway in 1824.
Slot Gallery - celebrating 50 exhibitions held at Slot Gallery over the last 5 years by displaying works in Alexandria shopfronts.
Royal Australian Institute of Architects - showcasing the citys architecture with the annual Sydney Architecture Festival.
