A small COVID-19 relief grant worth $250 is available for organisations, including social and community groups and not for profits, that provide services or activities in the Upper Lachlan Shire.

"This is ULF providing a helping hand, to those groups who have not been in a position to fundraise and have had additional administration or operational costs keeping in touch or servicing their volunteers," a spokesperson for ULF said.

This grant is in addition to the annual $1000 grants for community, environmental and social groups. The annual round of funding is to give back to the community.

Organisations have until September 30 to apply. Applications for both grants are available via the ULF website: upperlachlanfoundation.com.
