The Community Grants Program is for non-recurrent grants of between $1000 and $4000 and is to be applied for to undertake projects, activities or events which benefit the wider community, depending upon availability of funds and the merit of projects, activities or events.
Applications can only be received from not-for-profit community organisations that meet the grant’s criteria as outlined on Council’s website.
Projects must be completed within 12 months of grant approval.
Council is just one funding source open to local community and sporting groups, with Council also providing links to a range of opportunities to help not-for-profits get a share of the millions on offer each year.
