Defibrillator Grants
Expression of Interest
Defibrillator - Expression of Interest
Does your local club or community group need a defibrillator?
In addition to our Community Grants program, BNDCE also provide part or full funding to local clubs and community groups to purchase a defibrillator.
Bendigo Northern District Community Enterprise (BNDCE) has been proud to provide defibrillators to several community groups across the Bendigo Northern corridor.
Groups wishing to lodge an expression of interest for a defibrillator must complete the enterprise’s Defibrillator Grant Expression of Interest form.
The Expression of Interest form can be lodged between 1st Feb – 1st Nov. No expressions of interest will be considered or accepted from 1st November – 1st February every year.
These guidelines are used as a guide only. Each round of community may be slightly different due to:
- Current BNDCE income
- Number of groups applying for community grants and/or defibrillators.
- Yearly allocated funding already exceeded
Who can apply?
Only not-for-profit community organisations. (i.e. not individuals)
All applicants must:
Provide a report or documentary evidence (including digital high-resolution photos) that the funds have been used as per the application.
Apply for a maximum of $2,000 per application. Applications for more than $2,000 need to be directed to the committee for further consideration.
Only apply once each calendar year (unless special dispensation is applied for and approved).
