Donald B’n’S Community Grants Open in August

Following another hugely successful event in April, Donald B’n’S Inc. is once again giving back to the community through its new Community Grant Program.

Local not-for-profit organisations, clubs and community groups are invited to apply for grants ranging from $250 to $15,000 to help fund projects, programs, equipment purchases, events and initiatives that will benefit Donald and the surrounding community.

Over the years, Donald B’n’S Inc. has reinvested event proceeds into a wide range of local projects and sponsorships. Previous funding has helped deliver the Giant Kookaburra, new seating around the football oval, colourful murals throughout the township, a free-to-use barbecue at the Donald Angling Club lake, fireworks at the Donald Show, nets at the Donald-Jeffcott Cricket Club, along with many other community improvements and local initiatives.

Applications open on August 1, 2026, and close at 5 p.m. on August 31, 2026. Applications received after the closing time will not be considered.

Paper application forms will be available from Buloke Garden Centre, 4 Racecourse Road, Donald.

Digital application forms can be requested by emailing donaldbns@donaldbns.com.au or by accessing the link on the Donald BNS Facebook page.

Completed paper applications can be returned via email or posted to: Donald BnS Inc., PO Box 104, Donald VIC, 3480.

Only successful applicants will be notified by September 30, 2026.

Donald B’n’S Inc. is proud to continue supporting projects that strengthen the community and encourages all eligible groups with ideas that will make a positive difference to apply.
