Small Community Grants

The Gannawarra Shire Council through its Small Community Grants Program aims to provide funds for community groups and organisations who require financial assistance or resources for projects or activities that have genuinely arisen at short notice and fall outside of the time frame of Council’s Annual Community Grants Program.

The purpose of these grants is to provide financial assistance for impromptu opportunities for which the applicant has no immediate budget provision and contributes to the development, betterment and well being of the citizens of Gannawarra Shire Council and/or the enhancement of their local environment.

Please be sure to read the Gannawarra Community Grants Guidelines prior to filling out the application form.

2012/13 Community Grants Guidelines

The Small Community Grants program is open all year round for applications.

If you have any questions or require further information on any of Gannawarra Council's Community Grants programs, please contact Katrina Thorne, Community Development Officer on (03) 5450 9333 or email katrina.thorne@gannawarra.vic.gov.au
