"Local communities know what they need better than anyone else and we're committed to empowering them to drive community-led recovery and preparedness initiatives," Ms Prendergast said.
"We're encouraging community groups, councils, joint organisations, NGOs and not-for-profits to apply for grants of $20,000 to $300,000 and can't wait to see these projects come to life across NSW.
"We have also extended the period for successful projects to use their funding by a year to June 2023, to ensure projects of all shapes and sizes get the same opportunity to make a difference for the communities across the state."
