Support for Esperance Community
Tuesday, 21 June 2011
To mark the third and final round of Magellan Metal's Community
Fund, which has provided financial support to community and
not-for-profit projects within Esperance, we coordinated an event
for key stakeholders.
The breakfast in Esperance was an opportunity for local
stakeholders to find out more about the latest projects supported
by the $1 million fund and for Magellan to say thank you to the
local committee members for their work in disbursing funds.
Magellan also acknowledged all current and previous grant
recipients. Over the three years of funding rounds, funds have been
allocated to a range of projects that would benefit the Esperance
community, including local sporting groups, emergency services and
arts and cultural associations. This year, ten community
organisations were selected to receive a total of more than
$236,000 from the final year of funding.
At the breakfast, Magellan Metals announced a donation of
approximately $70,000 from the fund to the Shire of Esperance
toward the foreshore development project.
Clarity coordinated the event, bringing together a broad range of
local community representatives and generating local media coverage
around the Magellan Community Fund.
