Wollar Solar Farm sponsorship program opens for its third round

The program was developed to assist projects and events that contribute to the social, economic and cultural wellbeing of the local community.

With a total allocation of $32,000 across four funding rounds running from 2023 through to January 2025, the program aims to provide support to local groups.

Wollar Solar is inviting applications for Round 3 of its Sponsorship Program, with community groups able to apply for funding from a pool of up to $8,000 and individual organisations up to $2,500.

Organisations can also seek in-kind support, material donations, or volunteer assistance outside of the funding rounds.
