“The foundation’s first round of grant applications received a strong response, and underscored the dedication and commitment of many individuals and organisations to making the Capital Region a healthy and well place,” said Chair, John de la Torre. 

“The grant recipients service a broad range of community needs through equipment and facilities and play a vital role in Canberra’s wellness. The foundation will distribute over $58,000 to aid in the continuation of these vital community projects.”
