The City of Greater Dandenong - Arts, Festivals and Events
The Community Support Grants Program offers community groups and organisations the opportunity to apply for one-off grants to support delivery of projects, programs and events that benefit the Greater Dandenong community. The Community Support Grants Program enables Council to partner with communities to support initiatives that:
• Contribute to Council’s vision and strategic priorities.
• Enhance community capacity in responding to local needs.
• Contribute to improvement of community safety, health and wellbeing.
• Encourage active participation in community life.
• Increase partnership and collaboration.
• Increase intercultural connections, promotes understanding and celebrates diversity.
• Promote access, inclusion of individuals or groups that may experience exclusion.
• Have the best sustainable outcomes for the local community.
A maximum of one application per organisation per round is accepted and a maximum of $10,000 can be awarded per organisation per financial year. Late applications will not be considered. Applications requesting over $5,000 must demonstrate a dollar for dollar financial contribution (eg if an application requests $7,000 the project must have matched financial contribution of a minimum of $2,000). Matched funding encourages co-contribution for project sustainability and greater impact of Council investment in the community without impacting support for small community groups.
Applications close on the 22nd June 2020
