MEPAU and joint venture partner Beach Energy have developed the Mid West Community Grant Program to provide assistance to not-for-profit community groups, clubs and organisations to implement projects, activities and projects that enhance and promote community wellbeing within the Mid West.

Mid West Community Grants will be available two times per year for funding requests of up to $4,000.

The first round of applications opened 10 November and will close 10 December 2022.

What we fund

MEPAU welcomes applications for grants that relate to or support one or more of MEPAU’s key areas of support:

• Education, Skills Development & Training – opportunities to promote work readiness and employment for persons living in the Mid West region of Western Australia, particularly science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) topics;
• Employment and pre-employment training opportunities for Mid West communities, particularly those where MEPAU has a presence (such as the Shires of Irwin, Coorow and Carnamah, and the City of Greater Geraldton), especially initiatives that benefit youth and local Indigenous persons; and
• Sustainable community initiatives involving social engagement, health and fitness and also the natural environment.
