Objective of the Veolia Mulwaree Trust
The objective of the Veolia Mulwaree Trust is to provide Grant Funding and Donations for the benefit of the community of the former Mulwaree Shire Council area, or a community within a Council area immediately surrounding or adjoining former Mulwaree Shire Council area in Southern NSW. The Veolia Mulwaree Trust area covers the local government areas of Goulburn Mulwaree Council, Palerang Council, Shoalhaven City Council, Oberon Council, Wingecarribee Shire Council, Upper Lachlan Shire Council, and Wollondilly Shire Council.
NB: For those Council areas recently effected by amalgamations (Palerang and Oberon) the Veolia Mulwaree Trust will continue to service community organisations located within the former and existing Local Government Areas as outlined above.
Donation applications are open to legally constituted, not-for-profit community groups or organisations. Examples include:
Eligible donation applications are assessed against the intended outcomes and community benefit of the organisation. Organisations may apply for a one-off donation of up to $1000. Donations are not subject to GST.
The Veolia Mulwaree Trust reserves the right to fund a limited number of charitable organisations above the standard donation rate through its Community Donation Program, at its discretion.
Only one grant application or one donation application from an organisation will be accepted in any one funding round. An organisation can only be the recipient of one grant or one donation at any one time.
In accepting a donation from the Veolia Mulwaree Trust, consent is given for the Trust to publicise Veolia Mulwaree Trust support. Successful donation recipients will be announced on the Veolia Mulwaree Trust website.

You may need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
