Community Sponsorships

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.

Objectives and Funding

Applicants will be assessed on how their proposals contribute to the Council Plan 2021–2025 objectives, including strengthening our leadership, nurturing our wellbeing, valuing our environment, expanding our economy, enhancing our lifestyle, and growing with integrity.

Book an appointment with the Community Team to discuss your application idea.
Wednesday 13 August | Council Offices | 9am - 4pm | Communitygrants@wangaratta.vic.gov.au or 03 5722 0888
