Council provides grants for community groups and non-profit organisations, as well as grants for art and history, environment and sustainability, schools, crime prevention, Men’s Sheds and seniors. Due to Covid-19 many of Council’s usual grants are not available for 2020-2021. Please see below for current list of available Council grants.

I am happy to provide Letters of Support to organisations within Tennyson Ward to assist with securing Council, State and Federal grants. Please allow at least two weeks for Letters of Support to be returned. The following information is required when requesting a letter of support: the organisation name and brief history including number of members, location, the name of the grant being applied to and the closing date, dollar value, what the project will be and how it will benefit the community/organisation and how the funds will be allocated.
Lord Mayor’s COVID-19 Direct Assistance Program | OPEN NOW | Program will close when funding is expended.
Eligible organisations can apply for up to $10.000.
The program will help not-for-profit lessees cover the costs of operating expenses incurred during their forced closure. It will also help support leaseholders who have been unable to do maintenance works on their buildings due to lack of revenue as a result of the pandemic.
