Ready to make a difference in our community?

Calling all local community groups – are you ready to make a difference in our vibrant community?

Sunshine Coast Council is here to help you continue making our region the best place to live, work, and play!

The combined Major and Minor Grant round is now open for community organisations to apply for funding to deliver one-off projects, events and activities.  This will be this financial year’s final grant round.

Strong Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said in this combined round Council was empowering not-for-profit organisations to bring amazing projects, activities and events to life - big and small.

“The grants program aims to acknowledge and strengthen the valuable contribution community groups and volunteers provide to our community,” Cr Law said.

“Community groups can apply for major grants up to $15,000 for projects, activities and events, as well as up to $30,000 for infrastructure projects or minor grants up to $2,000.

“We know times are tough for many in our community and community grants like these can help to make a big difference.”

Grant applications can be submitted in one of six categories: Community Development, Community Facilities, Creative Development, Cultural Heritage, Economic Development or Sport and Recreation.

Grant applications close on March 10.
