Applicants must be:based in the City of Cockburn, or primarily serve the Cockburn community, orare looking to provide a service in Cockburn that will benefit the Cockburn communityCommunity 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.
