Community Grants Program

Edward River Council offers an annual Community Grants Program for local not-for-profit community groups and associations for funding initiatives that contribute positively to the Edward River community.

We invest in community projects that deliver positive social, cultural and environmental outcomes.

The projects we support promote:

• Bringing people and community organisations together.
• Celebrating a sense of identity, diversity and cultural connection within the community.
• Improving community health and social wellbeing.
• Helping people to develop the skills and confidence to contribute to community life.
• Enhancing places where communities gather.
• Increasing access and inclusion for people who are vulnerable or disadvantaged

Grants up to $3,000 are available.

Applications for the 2025 to 2026 program will open on the 1st July 2025.

Incorporated community organisations, not-for-profit and auspiced by an incorporated organisation are eligible to apply for the grant.
