Small Non-Government Organisations Working Together Project
Part of the Mt Druitt Community Solutions and Crime Prevention initiative this project was designed to explore the strengths, issues and challenges facing smaller non-government organisations in the Mt Druitt/Blacktown area and to identify a range of strategies that would support them in developing and enhancing their potential.
The Small Non-Government Organisations Working Together (SNOW) Project was developed as part of the Mt Druitt Community Solutions and Crime Prevention initiative. The project was overseen by a Reference Group drawing representation from government agencies, local government and non-government organisations. The Metro West Region of the NSW Department of Community Services was the auspice for this project.
The project was designed to explore the strengths, issues and challenges facing smaller non-government organisations (NGOs) in the Mt Druitt /Blacktown area and to work with small NGOs in the Blacktown area to identify a range of strategies that would support small NGOs, and assist them in developing and enhancing their potential.

-
researched the financial viability of small NGOs;
-
explored ways that smallNGOs can make changes or work with one another, to enhance their viability and capacity;
