Community Grants Scheme 2025/2026 (Round 2)
Background
The District Council of Grant's Community Grants Scheme is for community groups to develop projects and events that enhance community well-being and increase participation in social and leisure activities.
Projects that will be supported must align with the program's objectives to:
• Support the provision of programs and services which respond to a community need;
• Contribute to the building of stronger communities;
• To encourage partnerships with Council; and
• To facilitate the effective use of community resources and encourage sustainability of services and programs.
