RCOW-565 Grants are Coming Social Square.jpg

Each year our Community Grants support programs and projects that will develop and enhance the social, cultural and environmental experience of local residents, specifically projects that:

  • Encourage arts, cultural and heritage experiences in our community
  • Provide accessible and equitable services, spaces and programs
  • Encourage healthy behaviour and lifestyles
  • Support a resilient community
  • Improve engagement in the community

A total of $166,600 is available for projects, community organisations are welcome to apply for up to $10,000, however funding for projects most commonly falls between $1000 and $6000.
