Parklands Albury Wodonga will use $20,000 to pilot a four-day horse riding trail at Shelley and an $18,000 grant for Into Our Hands Community Foundation will be used to hold an information session and start a small grants program around introducing philanthropy to Wangaratta.
Australian Women in Agriculture will also take its $20,000 program to Wangaratta helping women look to get onto boards.
