Community and Cultural Grants

Individuals, community groups and services, sole traders and small business engaged in the creative industries can apply for small grants in March and August for projects that deliver identifiable social, cultural and recreational benefits to the Waverley community.

We encourage innovative project proposals that align with Waverley’s Community Strategic Plan or Arts and Culture Plan.

Groups meeting the program criteria in the Grant Guidelines can apply for one grant per round, up to the value of $5,000. Grants over this amount may be made at Council’s discretion. Applicants are encouraged to contribute towards their proposed project through cash and or in-kind contributions.
