My Connected Community (mc²) is part of the Victorian Government's Connecting Communities: the second wave ensuring the benefits of online technologies are shared across the entire Victorian community. The key objective is to stimulate the development of online groups of interest within Victoria.

The Victorian Government invites applications from community organisations for My Connected Community funding to establish online groups amongst their members and wider population. This may include senior Victorians (including seniors from non-English speaking backgrounds), recent migrants, unemployed Victorians and those outside the education system and workforce (including disadvantaged youth) and people with a disability.

Two levels of funding are available under the program: Level 2 ($10,000) and Level 3 ($30,000).

All successful projects will be funded for 2 years.

Successful applicants in the My Connected Community funding round will be invited to express interest in participating in the webcam technology pilot project . The pilot is anticipated to be held in May 2005.

Closing date for applications is 4.00pm,
Thursday 10 February 2005.

Visit the mc2 website for information on how to apply.
