21.01.2022 "Revitalising Ridgway" is a group of passionate locals that have banded together as a working group of Mirboo Country Development Inc. As a working group under Mirboo Country Development Inc. , they have spent the last six months searching for grants and doing the groundwork to enable these projects to get happening. These projects include:... Installation of wine barrel planters. Retailer support program and bigger picture thinking sessions. Visual enhancement of the community noticeboard and garden bed out the front of the IGA. Beautiful new christmas decorations for the town. This is just the beginning, with the community christmas meet up day being held tomorrow, meeting at the Co-Space, everyone welcome. So come along and see what its all about. "Revitalising Ridgway" knows that Mirboo North is our little secret that we want to tell people about. With the generous, supportive community that we have here, we want our town to continue to thrive. Pictured: Yesterday the work commenced on the renovation of the Community Noticeboard by our men’s shed. This start is made possible thanks to the Community Foundation and the Mirboo North Times as well as the efforts of the Men's Shed. Exciting!

12.01.2022 Where We Have Helped 2010 - 2020 In ten years we have granted more than $1.5 million to the community. A large part of this has been through our Community Grants Program, which was the very first grant program set up all those years ago. ... Diana Mueller, Convenor of the Community Engagement and Grants Committee says it best: "We know money doesn’t have an impact on its own, we rely on the many volunteers who give their time and energy to build projects, events and organisations to make our community more vibrant, resilient and healthy." We have made a video so we could acknowledge the positive impact that this grants program has had on our district over the last decade. This was shown at our digital AGM held in November. We hope you enjoy watching it! #togetherwethrive #communityfoundation #philanthropyaustralia
