Supporting grassroots and community projects

Charles Sturt continues to work towards the public good and supports individuals and communities to grow and flourish. Each year the university contributes to the development of our regional communities through our Community University Partnership Grant Program.

In 2022 Charles Sturt provided more than $60,000 in small grants to 66 projects across six regional areas of NSW – Wagga Wagga, Albury, Dubbo, Bathurst, Orange and Port Macquarie.

Grants went towards community run projects including:

A Wiradjuri yarning circle and native garden project for primary school children

A community cultural development project about Wahluu (Mount Panorama)

Establishing a native and edible garden and seed library for sharing in the Dubbo community

A community health and well-being festival

Community water testing materials for a local water watch program.
