The Cooroy Rag Community Newspaper is pleased to announce the launch of two exciting initiatives that aim to give back to the local community.
The first, the Cooroy Rag grants program, will open this July and donate up to $10,000 to community causes.
“We are delighted to again continue the legacy of community connection and reciprocity with our 2025 community grants,” Cooroy Rag committee president Ian said.
Submissions are invited from organisations for amounts between $500 and $2,000. Application details are available at www.cooroyrag.com.au/grants with submissions open throughout July.
The Cooroy Rag will also commence a special project to create a Cooroy coffee table book, to be researched, written and photographed over the coming months and released in 2026. It will capture snippets of local life, past and present.
“We believe this project will be a valuable contribution to the local community, and links closely with the newspaper’s mission to celebrate local people, sustain community life and reflect its views,” editor Sarah Jane Scott said.
“We’ll invite local businesses to collaborate and sponsor chapters, offering opportunities to promote themselves in the community.
“We’ll also be seeking input from contributors with stories and photographs to share,” Sarah Jane said. “We look forward to keeping the community updated with its progress.”
