Community & Cultural Grants
This program aims to support the delivery of identifiable social, cultural and recreational benefits to Waverley’s community. We encourage innovative project proposals that align with Waverley’s Community Strategic Plan. The plan drives the delivery of projects and programs to address identified needs and aspirations in the community underpinned by the social justice principles of equity, access, rights and participation for all.
Who can apply
Individuals, community groups and services are eligible to apply, and sole traders and small business engaged in the creative industries. The activity proposed must principally provide benefit to the Waverley community, and not the applicant.
How much money is available
Grants are made available in two rounds a year. Individuals and groups meeting the program criteria can apply for one grant per round, up to the value of $5,000. Grants over this amount may be made at Council's discretion. Applicants are encouraged to contribute towards their proposed project through cash and or in-kind contributions.
Application Closing Date
Next round closing Monday, 5 April 2021.

This includes detail about what you plan to do, who will be involved in the delivery of your project and who will benefit from it, when and where you plan to do it, how the proposal has value for the community and how the grant funding will help you to deliver it.
