Extending our Reach
Sometimes the only thing stopping a great idea is the need for an ABN, public liability insurance and proper organisational structures. We have chosen to partner with some fantastic projects over the years and can be the bridge that extends even greater benefits to the wider community and the South Gippsland region as whole
What is auspicing?
You may have an amazing idea that you know will bring something good to the community, but can't get over the hurdle for a grant if you don't have an ABN, public liability insurance and more
Manna Gum Community House is able to support great initiatives in different ways and help see them become reality
You can make an application outlining your project and grant application and our Board will see if it's a good fit with our guiding principles
