Community grants

Each financial year, Griffith City Council makes funds available under its Community Grants Program for local community organisations, services and individuals within the Griffith Local Government Area.

The program assists recipients to deliver quality programs, events and projects which support the community and enhance wellbeing. These projects should meet the strategies in the Griffith Community Strategic Plan 2025-2035.

The Community Grants Program is now OPEN. Grants are capped at $2500.

Fill out your application here.

There are several criteria which must be met to be considered eligible. To find out more, view our Community Grant Program Policy.

These will be processed in the same manner as the Quick Turn Around Grants with a report to council.  It is recommended all applicants call Griffith City Council’s Community Development Department for application details on 1300 176 077. A minimum of 1 month is required for the application to be processed.

Please note: an evaluation & acquittal form is due 12 months after completion of the project/event.
