Water Corporation awards more than $70,000 in grants to Broome and Kimberley organisations and schools

More than $70,000 in grant funding has been awarded to 11 community groups, not-for-profits and schools in Broome and around the Kimberley thanks to the Water Corporation’s Kimberley Community Grants Scheme. Native Animal Rescue Broome, Broome Senior High School and the Broome Community Resource Centre are just some of the organisations in Broome and the Kimberley that will benefit from this year’s round of funding. Water Minister Dave Kelly said this year’s funding will support a range of youth-focused facilities, events and programs. “The scheme will also provide support to local events that bring tourism to the Kimberley region, and improved amenities for local schools, community groups and a wildlife rescue,” he said. Kimberley MLA Divina D’Anna said it was fantastic to see so many community-based initiatives events supported by the grants scheme. “I am excited that so many community groups, not-for-profit organisations and other worthy recipients are sharing in these grants which contribute greatly to our region at the grassroots level,” she said. “I look forward to visiting some of these projects and events to see firsthand how the grants are benefiting the Kimberley region.”
