Community Grants Program

Community and Cultural Grants Program

This year Council has introduced some changes to the grants program and now offers a Small and Large Community and Cultural Grants program.

Woollahra Council’s Community and Cultural Grants program seeks to support organisations, groups or individuals who provide an activity or program that works towards a connected, liveable, vibrant and creative community.

The Community and Cultural Grants program is a non-recurrent program made available to non-profit community based organisations that provide a service which is of benefit to the residents of the Woollahra Local Government Area.

  • Small Community and Cultural Grants Program is offered twice per year for community initiatives up to $1,000. Funding rounds have closed and will reopen March 2010.
  • Large Community and Cultural Grants Program is offered once per year for community initiatives up to $5,000. Funding rounds have closed and will reopen March 2010.
