The program supports a broad range of community projects each year which ameliorate, promote, and embed safety and wellbeing within the community.
Applications are being accepted until the closing date of Wednesday, May 18.
Community groups are encouraged to submit applications for activities to be undertaken in the 2022/23 financial year.
Last year eight projects across the Murray Irrigation footprint were funded, and these included school tree planting, art, tennis court upgrades, Menshed facilities, education, rescue squad equipment and irrigated cropping research.
Murray Irrigation chair Steve Fawns said the company takes pride in supporting healthy, viable and vibrant local communities by assisting projects and initiatives across its area of operations that align with the company’s values.
“This is all made possible by contributions from our shareholders/customers, as irrigators who grow the food and fibre but who also understand we have a responsibility for community and social licence and that’s best done by first supporting the communities across our footprint,” Mr Fawns said.
The sponsorship is in addition to the financial support provided by Murray Irrigation to the Learn to Swim program across the region, which this year involved 18 schools and three swimming clubs. Learn to Swim has been supported by Murray Irrigation for nearly 20 years.
Clubs and organisations who want to submit an application to the Murray Irrigation Sponsorship Program can download an application form and guidelines from the sponsorship page on the Murray Irrigation website https://www.murrayirrigation.com.au/company/our-community/giving-back.
