Community grants
The aim of community grants is to support individuals, groups and organisations to provide activities, services and events to make Campbelltown an even greater place to live.
Community grants are based on the principles of:
- Social inclusion
Where everyone in the Community can participate, connect and contribute regardless 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.
Guidelines
Eligible groups can apply for one grant each financial year (minor or major or event).
