Community Development Grants
The Community Development Grants Program provides funding to not-for-profit community organisations that are based and/or operating within the Fairfield Local Government Area and/or principally serving Fairfield residents. There are two rounds (March and September) each year.
This round includes:
• Aged and Disability
This grant aims to build the capacity of older people aged 65 years and over, or 50 years and over for Aboriginal people and people with disability and their carers through the delivery and implementation of community development programs.
• Community Capacity Building
Community Capacity Building grants support emerging needs within our community and projects that facilitate and build community connections and capacity. It’s a good source of funding to try a pilot or develop an innovative solution.
• Domestic and Family Violence
For projects and activities raising awareness on issues concerning domestic and family violence prevention throughout the year. This grant also supports activities between 25 November and 10 December, supporting International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women campaign and 16 Days of Activism.
Total amount of grant sought must not exceed $4,000.
