Outrigger canoeing is of the fastest growing water sports in Australia. The first Outrigger canoe was built in the Pacific Islands and was used as the only available form of transport between islands and to provide food from the ocean. Outrigger racing started the moment the second canoe was built. Outrigger canoe racing in the Pacific is a part of life and as es-sential and prestigious as cricket or rugby is to Australians. Outrigger Canoeing in Queen-sland is divided into Southern and Northern Zones. The Southern Zone extends from Tweed Heads to Fraser Island, and the Northern Zone starts at Yeppoon/Rockhampton and stretches as far north as the Torres Strait.

We welcome people of all ages and fitness levels to come and try our sport. Whether you are a budding enthusiast or a competitive athlete looking for another sport to add to your training, outrigger paddling can provide you with many wonderful opportunities. As a member of the club, you will enjoy many benefits, including opportunities to make new friends, train in a beautiful location, achieve and maintain high fitness and endurance lev-els, as well as having the option to travel and compete in an exciting endurance and sprint sport

Club days are Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 5.15pm and all are able to attend from novice to advanced. Early morning sessions are also held on Wednesdays and Fridays, however these sessions need to be organised to make sure enough people are available to fill the canoes (call Linda 0427 614 951). Early morning Saturdays experienced paddlers go out for marathon training. Our training sessions are usually 1 hour in length on weekdays and longer on weekends. Sessions vary in structure from technique classes, strength train-ing to endurance and marathon sessions.

When – Saturday 28 August 2010 Where – Coconuts Beach, Innisfail For further information, please call: President – Linda Gaia 0427 614 951 Secretary – Vicki Hall 0423 640 021 Treasurer – Tracy Darveniza 0413 033 390

CATCH - Culture Arts Tourism

and Community Heritage

Grants Program The CATCH Program is a source of funds providing grants of up to $20,000 to not for profit community groups in rural and remote Australia. Current Round - YES

The CATCH program has been established, with the support of the John T Reid Charitable Trusts in re-sponse to the identified need for an independent and flexible source of funding of up to $250,000 this year, to support worthwhile activities in the areas of culture and tourism, the arts, history and heritage.

Activities which enrich the life of rural and remote communities are often centred on arts and culture, history and heritage and public tourism. This program, made possible by support from the John T Reid Charitable Trusts, aims to meet this need.

Who can be funded?

Not-for-profit organisations can apply for projects and activities that offer clear public benefit for communities living in small rural and remote locations in Australia, contributing to their development in social and community welfare, eco-nomic, environmental, health, education or cultural areas. Applications from communities with a population of 10,000 or less will receive preference. Grants will be made in amounts from $1,000 to $20,000. To be eligible, projects must be for a charitable purpose (benefit the whole community). Organisations should also have an ABN or be incorporated. Organisations demonstrating Community Partnerships will be preferred to multiple applications from one community. What can be funded?

Capital items Equipment Extension programs to remote areas Events and activities which have a demonstrable economic benefit to the community Intergenerational activities What can’t be funded?

Wages Social, sporting and recreational activities* The Australian Taxation Office has ruled that the encouragement or advancement of sport, recreation or social activities are not considered to have a “charitable purpose”. Please use the attached application form and confine information to the space provided.

1. Plan in Advance - You should have a list of programs that you want funded

Create a table - this will allow you to plant thoughts in advance of grants and actively seek them out. List:

The problem

The solution (options)

Cost

Timing

2. Read the Guidelines - use a highlighter

Using a highlighter to pick the "grant language" will allow you to ensure that you are staying relevant to the guidelines.

3. Phone the contact person - explain your project; ask credible questions; check you meet guidelines (e.g. what is the average grant?) Start to build a relationship with the grantmaker - many want (indeed insist) that you call. Create a list of questions relevant to your grant (e.g. "We normally cost our volunteers at $30/hr is that OK with you?"). It provides a chance to discuss your project and build your credibility.

4. Be realistic - in all senses (time, cost, ability to deliver - don't over-promise) Most grantmakers have an in-built "BS detector" - they know how much things cost and how long they take to complete - be realistic.

5. Do your homework Try and find as much out about the funder as possible - look at their website, annual report, who sits on the board - you'll get a better feel of what they are likely to fund (don't forget to call). Look up which groups/programs have won the grant previously.

6. Gather your evidence - stats, evidence of need (letters) Most councils have disaggregated data about your area. Also check at www.ourcommunity.com.au/stats. If all else fails, run your own surveys.

7. Think about possible collaborations (can you strengthen your proposal through partnerships?) Many grants now actively target "partnerships" - projects that show evidence of collaboration. Make sure your appli-cation includes details of who supports your work, and who can you partner with to deliver this project - other similar groups, causes, location, business?

8. How can you measure your outcomes/sustainability? Think of quantitative and qualitative measures that you can use to measure the success of your project. Include details in your application. Talk about how you will transfer learnings from your project to other groups.

9. Tailor your grant application to the criteria/category/grantmaker (Don't just resubmit an old one) If the grant relates to health don't use the template that you have that might focus more on sport - use the terminol-ogy in the guidelines and weave this through the application.

10. Always proof read your own work. Then get someone else to proof read it. Does it make sense to some-one who doesn't have expert knowledge of the proposal or your group? Check your spelling, grammar, budget. Have you met the guidelines on words/page limits? It's like a job interview: don't let yourself down. And here's an extra one free of charge.

11. Always credit the funder and thank them if successful. Invite them to launches and name them in your speeches. Put their logo in your newsletter. Say thank you - sincerely, and often.

Grant: Small Grants for Small Rural Communities Provider: Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR)

Category: Community Services & Development

Funding: Max per grant: $5,000 Total Pool: $900,000

Closes: 30 September 2010

Purpose: To provide grants to benefit people in rural and remote communities.

Overview: A small grants program for small rural Australian communities will offer about $900,000 a year in grants to benefit people in rural and remote communities.

This collaborative approach is designed to:

• Make better, targeted use of funds improving access for rural & regional communities

• Provide a simpler application process

• Enhance efficiency and effectiveness for philanthropic trusts and foundations who wish to support small communities.

Priorities: Currently, preference will be given to projects that support:

• Community Infrastructure

• Community Development involving Disadvantaged Children or Young People

• Resettlement of Immigrants in rural Australia

• Drought affected areas (Exceptional Circumstances Declared).

Limitations: What can't be funded?

• The encouragement or advancement of sport or recreation or social activities is not considered a charitable activity by the Australian Taxation Office. Applications from sporting organisations need to clearly demonstrate a benefit to the wider community.

• Operational and Administration costs, Travel and Accommodation

• Previous grant recipients who have not completed their final report requirements.

Who can apply:

• Not-for-profit Organisations can apply for projects and activities that offer clear public benefit for communities living in small rural and remote locations in Australia, contributing to their development in social and community welfare, economic, environmental, health, education or cultural areas.

• Applications from communities with a population of 10,000 or less will receive priority.

• Grants will be made in amounts up to $5,000.

• To be eligible, projects must be for a charitable purpose (benefit the whole community). As this is a collaborative program there are some grants which are restricted either to Deductible Gift Recipients (DGRs) or Tax Concession Charity (TCC) organisations or must be granted in Victoria; the Benalla re-gion (Victoria) or the Far North Queensland region. The majority of funds are unrestricted.

• Organisations should also have an ABN.

• Organisations demonstrating Community Partnerships will be preferred to multiple applications from one community.

Submissions called for art auction soiree \Artists are invited to submit work for an art auction fund-raiser to furnish Mission Arts, the soon-to-be constructed workshop and gallery home of the Mission Beach Commu-nity Arts Centre.

The auction will be held in the Rainforest Room at Mission Beach Resort, Wongaling, on Saturday, October 23, from 1.30pm to 6pm.

Artists of all styles and media are invited to donate work outright for the new arts centre or donate proceeds received beyond a reserve price should the piece sell.

Organiser Anita Smyth said a panel would choose the works offered for auction. These would be included in a catalogue detailing the works, artists and media used

Prepaid tickets, at $25, would be available from several Mission Beach outlets. The event would include entertainment by various local performers and finger food throughout the afternoon. Drinks would be available from the bar.

Ms Smyth said last year’s inaugural art auction generated a lot of interest from individuals and business houses wishing to acquire original works while supporting the arts in the Cassowary Coast region.

Artists wishing to submit work and local residents interested in joining Mission Beach Community Arts Centre or becoming a volunteer may contact Ms Smyth after 4pm on weekdays on 0429336605 or email darvosmyth@westnet.com.au

MBCAC president Lynda Williams said Mission Arts would be a hub for artistic and cultural activi-ties for Mission Beach and surrounding areas when it opened at MARCS Park early next year. It would house an historical display, local and visiting artists’ work and offer a broad range of cul-tural activities and training courses. Construction of the half-million-dollar centre, on land leased from Cassowary Coast Regional Council, was being funded under the Federal Government’s Job Stimulus Package.

Reef Hotel Casino Community Benefit Fund

The Queensland Government established the Reef Hotel Casino Community Benefit Fund (RHCCBF) in 1996 to provide funding to community groups in Far North Queensland. The RHCCBF receives money from taxes on casinos. It distributes these funds to community projects on a bi-annual basis. The RHCCBF is just one way the Government returns taxes from gambling activities. In redistributing gambling taxes through its grants program, the RHCCBF plays an important role in ensuring, on balance, the whole State benefits from gambling in Queensland. How much can I apply for? One off grants of up to $15,000 are allocated to approved not-for-profit organisations to help provide community services or ac-tivities that benefit the community. These grants are not intended to replace existing sources of support for these organisations. Grants of more than $15,000 (up to a maximum of $25,000) are considered for more complex projects which have significant community benefit. Who can apply? Applications must be from Queensland-based organisations, located within the geographical jurisdiction North from Burke, Carpente-ria, Croydon, Etheridge, Tablelands and Cassowary Coast, including Torres Strait and Thursday Island. The majority of Queensland not-for-profit community organisations are eligible to apply for a grant.
