Deadline: 21-Oct-22
The District Council of Streaky Bay is providing Community Development Grants to support local non-profit community groups and organisations in the delivery of local initiatives which will make a positive contribution to the building of community capacity and wellbeing and which support Council’s Strategic Plan.
The aim of the Community Grants is to support groups and organisations to provide activities, services, and events to make Campbelltown an even greater place to live.
Principles
-
Community grants are based on the principles of:
- Social inclusion: where everyone in the Community can participate, connect and contribute regard less of age, culture or level of ability.
- Access and Equity: where eligible individuals, community groups and organisations have equal opportunity to access, apply and be considered for the Community Grants Program.
- Openness and Transparency: where all eligible applications will be fairly assessed by an independent panel and communicated to the Community
Categories
The Community Grants program consists of three categories:
- Minor Grants
- Major Community Grants
- Major Event Grants
Priority Projects
-
Preference will be given to:
- Projects that demonstrate community collaboration and partnership
- Projects that will benefit a wide range of people in the community
- Projects that widen the range of activities available in the community and facilitate diversity and inclusion
- Applications that can demonstrate that the activity or project will be ongoing in nature
- Projects that build community capacity and resilience
- Applications that reflect strategic objectives as outlined in Council’s Strategic Plan
- Projects that involve a level of contribution, financial and/or in kind from the applicant
