The Community Grants program has been developed to financially support community groups and not-for-profit organisations to provide innovative and inclusive programs, events and projects in line with our Community Plan.
The program also includes support for individuals selected to compete at a recognised sporting or cultural competition outside the Sydney metropolitan area in NSW, interstate or internationally.
A total of $20,000 in grant funding is available across two categories:
Community Development (service and program delivery)
$500, $1000 or $1500 per application
Community Assistance (sports and cultural competition)
$150, $250 or $500 per application
Community Grants are not for recurring annual expenses, they are for ‘one-off’ projects, events, pilot programs, or establishment of a group or activity. A project will only be funded once.
The next round of community grants will open on Monday 21 August 2023 and will close on Monday 25 September 2023.
For more information, please contact customerservice@huntershill.nsw.gov.au or 9879 9400.
There are two grant categories available.
($500, $1000 or $1500 per application)
These funds can be used for a new project, to enhance an existing project or purchase equipment or materials.
Council will consider applications from not-for-profit, incorporated organisations that are delivering services to, or organising local cultural or community activities for, participants of which the majority are residents of the Hunters Hill local government area.
These local community organisations would be working towards building a cohesive and connected community, based on the principles of inclusion, community wellbeing and cultural capacity building.
($150, $250 or $500 per application)
