          3.9.3 Grants
          1. There are a number of grants that the CMHA Inc. will be able to apply for during the year.
             The most important will be those that contribute to the building works, for which the
             Association will be eligible when tenure of the Hall is secured. The State Government
             Gambling Community Benefit Fund Grant is the most significant of these and has 4 offerings
             per year, for which building works associated with community buildings have a high priority.
             In addition, other grants through Local, State & Federal Governments are available to fund
             projects associated with e.g. the preservation and display of wartime memorabilia, for which
             the Memorial Hall would be well placed, or for projects and events appropriate to the Hall.
