The Mapleton and District Community Association (MADCA) is dedicated to supporting the vitality and well-being of our community. MADCA is a not-for-profit organisation run by community members who collaborate with residents, community groups, and local government to make Mapleton and the surrounding district a great place to live.
Through our Community Grant program, MADCA offers grants of up to $3,000 to support local non-profit groups, clubs and organisations working on initiatives that benefit the community.
If you answered yes, we want to hear from you!
The MADCA Community Grant program allows us to utilise funds raised through our activities to directly support the community. Grants are awarded on an ad hoc basis as funds become available, with a maximum of one grant per applicant awarded per year.
