Frequently asked questions

Yandin Wind Farm is committing a total of $58,000 per year, allocated via one funding round. The funding will continue for each year of the operation of the Yandin Wind Farm.

Applicants can apply for up to the full $58,000.

Entry is open to community groups and organisations within the Dandaragan region.

Whether you’re part of a not-for-profit charity, sporting club, youth group, or arts organisation – we want to hear your story and what you’re doing in the community.

If you need some new equipment or have a special project in mind, our community fund may be able to help.

The Yandin Wind Farm Community Fund is looking to partner with organisations on projects and activities in the following areas:

  • Health, wellbeing and recreational pursuits
    Activities that promote an active and healthy lifestyle through fitness, participation, healthy eating, social inclusion, and mental health. Activities and programs discouraging drug and alcohol use or other harmful behaviours impacting the Dandaragan community will also be considered.

  • Welfare, disability and social disadvantage
    Activities that demonstrate a material need of a group of people within the community who are directly disadvantaged through social, economic, physical or intellectual circumstances.

  • Children and young people
    Activities/events which provide opportunities for children and young people to learn and develop an increased understanding of the world around them with particular focus on the role that science, technology, engineering and mathematics plays in the community and future career opportunities.

  • Environment
    Activities or events which promote an understanding of the importance of a healthy environment and its protection for future enjoyment and sustainability.

  • Arts and culture
    Activities or events which provide opportunities for the community to interact and learn within an atmosphere of social, intellectual and cultural growth.

  • Establishment of a private business or commercial enterprise
  • Research activities or feasibility studies
  • Activities or events located more than 25km from the Yandin Wind Farm or not directly benefiting the Dandaragan region

  • Attendance by individuals or groups at events, conferences, or gatherings (domestic or international)
  • Sponsorship of individuals
  • Extremist groups or organisations with political agendas
  • Advertising in journals/manuals (except for predominantly voluntary, non-professional associations)
  • Any request that prejudices Yandin Wind Farm’s image as a quality, professional, and community-minded organisation
