Nine community organisations and initiatives that will make a difference to the lives of Territorians
are set to benefit from Power and Water’s 2022 Community Grant program.
A record 62 applications were received for the revamped program, with recipients needing to demonstrate how their initiative will help shape the future of the Territory; care for and support Territorians; and uplift or create opportunities for Territorians.
