Venue hire grants for not-for-profits

The Venue Hire Grant Program aims to support groups that provide identifiable social, recreational and cultural benefits to Waverley’s community. The program is underpinned by the social justice principles of equity of access and participation for everyone in the community.

Waverley Council operates a fee structure that offers all Not for Profit or Non-Profit community groups a 50% reduction on standard hire fees.

Groups are also able to apply for further support in reduced fees through the Venue Hire Grants Program.

Eligibility

Groups and organisations that can demonstrate compliance with the ATO’s definition of Not for Profit or Non‐Profit are eligible.

Grants will be awarded to groups that can demonstrate significant community benefit or in cases of genuine hardship.

Grants are open to organisation for the use of indoor and outdoor facilities. See more about venue and sports facilities hire and staging an event in a public space.
