Waitsia Mid West Community Grants
The Waitsia Mid West Community Grant Program supports not-for-profit community groups, clubs and organisations to implement projects that enhance and promote community wellbeing in the Mid West.Â
Waitsia Mid West Community Grants
The Waitsia Mid West Community Grant Program opens once each year for funding requests from the community for up to $4,000 in support of initiatives that will directly benefit the Mid West community.
The Program is funded by Mitsui E&P Australia (MEPAU) and joint venture partner Beach Energy, the Waitsia Gas Project joint venturers.
The next round of applications will be open from 1 October 2026 until 31 October 2026.
