Community Grants & Donations

« Back

Council has available financial assistance to support community organisations that make a positive contribution to the quality of life in the Goondiwindi Regional Council area.

Council's Community Grants Policy underpins the allocation of donations and grants.

Funding will be provided on a ‘project’ or ‘program’ basis.  All applications will be assessed against eligibility and selection criteria.  Funding is limited by Council’s annual budget allocation.  No applicant can be guaranteed funding nor can any applicant be guaranteed to receive the full amount requested.

Community Grants Program

Organisations seeking funding of $501 or more are required to provide Council with detailed information regarding the proposed use of the funds and how this use would benefit the community. 

Applications can be submitted all year round, but must be received a minimum of eight (8) weeks prior to the activity/ event.
