Community Grants
Council’s Community Grants program was first established in 2003 and allocates funding of approximately 1% of rate revenue, including a provision for in-kind services to eligible groups or projects. Funding is available to support our local community to undertake projects, improve facilities and host events that will make the Tatiara an even better place for all of us.
The Community Grants program is based on a philosophy of partnership. Council recognises the vital role that individuals, community groups and organisations play in contributing to the creation of a vibrant and sustainable region. In return, Council provides a range of grants to encourage and support individuals and community groups to engage in activities that enhance the quality of life in the Tatiara.
Our funding will not always be sufficient or appropriate for all projects. A list of alternative funding sources is provided in Appendix 3.
