Mayoral Community Fund

These are generally those that focus on capacity building for your volunteers or for the community.

Projects can seek funding for the following purposes:

• to undertake minor capital works
• for the purchase of small capital equipment items provided that these are directly relevant to the particular community development project and that this is clearly demonstrated in the application;
• for establishment costs where the project can demonstrate that it will be self-funded after the initial grant allocation; or
• for one off projects that demonstrate outcomes beyond the life of the project.

A maximum that a group can apply for is $5,000 per organisation with a maximum of $25,000 allocated to this category.
