Bellingen Shire Council currently offers a series of small community grants each year.
Two grant rounds are offered each financial year which is limited to Council’s yearly budget. This is currently $50,000 across the three grant funds. To better understand each of the grants, Guidelines have been created which outline the types of events, projects or activities which may be eligible for funding and the types of organisations that can apply. It is important that the Guidelines are read prior to making an application.
Grants are available across three funds:
Creative Placemaking Fund
Community Support Fund
Community Event Sponsorship Fund
The Community Development Officer is available to talk through any questions you may have regarding the application process and/or your proposed activity, project or event – call (02) 6655 7300.
Applications for Round 1 of Council’s 2024/25 Community Grants Program will open on the 16 April, 8:00am and close on the 14 May 2024, 5:00pm.
