The second round of the Department of State and Regional Development’s Small Chambers of Commerce Fund is now open and closes on September 1, 2009. Grants of between $2,000 and $5,000 are available for established chambers of commerce and business development organisations in communities with a population of up to 5,000.

This fund helps small communities undertake projects that support individual businesses and the local business community as a whole.

 The Small Chambers of Commerce Fund is part of the NSW Government’s Building the Country Package. Potential applicants should contact DSRD’s community economic development manager in their region to discuss the project before submitting an application.  For more information, go to http://www.business.nsw.gov.au/
