The city of Fremantle, Australia, has given more than $66,000 to 11 community, youth, and arts organizations in a bid to "make Freo a more inclusive, vibrant, and creative place," Mayor Hannah Fitzhardinge says.
Among the projects: a 12-week music and drama therapy workshop for women and children who've experienced domestic violence; an after-school physical activity program for at-risk and disengaged youth; a teen writers program at the Fremantle Library; and a youth-focused nutrition education program for vulnerable youth, the West Australian reports.
"It's a reflection of our incredible place we live in that we are able to recognize the important work these organizations do for our community, for our young people, and for the arts," Fitzhardinge says.
"The City is proud to support their efforts to make Freo a more inclusive, vibrant, and creative place."

Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
