Community Grants
We provide grants for community groups and non-profit organisations. The grants help develop projects or events, or elements of ongoing programs, that:
- foster opportunities for access and participation
- respond to community issues and concerns.
Please read the relevant guidelines for program objectives, eligibility information and assessment criteria.
All applications are assessed against the assessment criteria. It is important to note that meeting all criteria does not guarantee that an application will be successful.
See the projects funded in previous grant rounds on the grant recipients page.
