Small Grants

As part of the Child Passenger Safety Project, a small grants program is being conducted. These grants provide an opportunity for local agencies to link with the Choose Right Fit Right Campaign through local activities designed to raise the awareness of child passenger safety issues in their communities. The MAA has provided funding of more that $45,000 to twenty projects to support campaign messages in communities across NSW.
