CDSE Grants Open in the Illawarra & Shoalhaven
The Community Development Support Expenditure (CDSE) Scheme is designed to ensure that larger registered clubs in NSW contribute to the provision of front-line services to their local communities; and to ensure that the disadvantaged in the community are better positioned to benefit from the substantial contributions made by those clubs.
A Local CDSE Committee has been set up in the LGAs of Shellharbour, Shoalhaven and Wollongong. Category 1 expenditure is for projects and/or services that contribute to the welfare and broader social fabric of the local community, and are aimed at improving the living standards of low income and disadvantaged people. These committees make recommendations for the CDSE Category 1 funding.
