Community Sponsorship Grants - NOW CLOSED
Our Community Sponsorships Program supports community groups and organisations who work to enhance the social, cultural and environmental experience of local residents.
Community organisations can apply for one year of funding for programs of work that deliver on outcomes from the Council Plan, up to $10,000 available for project delivery in 2025-2026.
How applications are assessed:
Applicants will be assessed on how their proposals contribute to the Council Plan 2021–2025 objectives:
- Strengthening our leadership
- Nurturing our wellbeing
- Valuing our environment
- Expanding our economy
- Enhancing our lifestyle
- Growing with integrity
Prior to applying applicants are strongly encouraged to review these documents: Council Plan and Community-Sponsorships-guidelines-2025-2026-1.pdf(PDF, 352KB)
