Community organisations commemorate service with new grants
Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Matt Keogh has announced the 56 successful recipients of Saluting Their Service grants in the latest batch of the program.
Saluting Their Service provides funding for projects which support commemoration of the service of Australian veterans and Defence personnel. It aims to ensure that Australia’s wartime history is preserved and the sacrifice of those who have served during wars, conflicts and peace operations is remembered.
In this round, over $400,000 was provided to a wide variety of organisations including ex-service organisations, community groups and schools. Projects that received funding include an e-book about the 90-year history of a veteran organisation, the restoration of a Second World War Howitzer Gun, and a state-wide oral history program and photographic exhibition.
Congratulations to all successful recipients. A full list can be found on the GrantConnect website.
