Thirty-four not-for-profit organisations across the Far West region have received a funding windfall through Transgrid's Community Partnerships Program, with grants of up to $10,000 supporting vital community projects.

The second round of Transgrid's Far West NSW Community Partnerships Program has delivered $200,000 in funding to organisations spanning sporting clubs, schools, cultural groups, and essential community services across the region.

From Broken Hill to Menindee, Clare to White Cliffs, the grants will support a diverse range of initiatives designed to strengthen community facilities, enhance local services, and fund important events that bring people together.

The successful recipients represent the backbone of rural communities, with organisations including local cricket and soccer clubs, emergency services, cultural centres, and vital support services such as Meals on Wheels and domestic violence support services.

"These not-for-profit groups are absolutely essential to the fabric of our bush communities," said a community representative.

"It's fantastic to see them receiving the recognition and funding they deserve for projects that will make a real difference to people's lives."

The breadth of recipients demonstrates the program's commitment to supporting diverse community needs. Sporting organisations such as the Barrier District Cricket League, Broken Hill Tennis Association, and AFL Broken Hill will benefit alongside educational institutions including Broken Hill North Public School P&C and Broken Hill School of the Air P&C.

Cultural and heritage organisations haven't been forgotten, with grants awarded to the Broken Hill Art Exchange, Broken Hill Military Museum, and West Darling Machinery Preservation Society, ensuring the region's rich history and cultural life continue to thrive.

Emergency and community support services also feature prominently among recipients, with St John Ambulance Australia (NSW), WIRES, St Vincent de Paul Society NSW, and The Salvation Army (NSW) all receiving funding to enhance their vital community services.

The Community Partnerships Program recognises that rural and remote communities often face unique challenges in securing funding for essential projects and services.

By providing grants of up to $10,000, Transgrid is enabling these organisations to undertake meaningful initiatives that might otherwise remain unfunded.

With projects now set to commence, communities across the Far West can look forward to enhanced facilities, improved services, and strengthened community connections thanks to this significant investment in local organisations.
