The City's Community Grants Program financially supports local not-for-profit, incorporated community groups and organisations to provide projects, programs or activities that benefit residents of Cockburn.
Applicants must be:
based in the City of Cockburn, or
primarily serve the Cockburn community, or
are looking to provide a service in Cockburn that will benefit the Cockburn community
Community Grants are not for recurring annual expenses, they are for "one-off" projects or events, pilot programs, or establishment of a group or activity. Projects or events must not commence within two months of the application closing date (as funding cannot be awarded retrospectively) and a project will only be funded once.
Applications will be opening in March 2021, so now is a good time to start thinking about projects that could be eligible for funding assistance.
