Our Grants help turn your idea into reality.

They support projects, programs, activities and events that respond to a community need, and will improve the health, wellbeing and capacity of our community.

Do you have an amazing idea but need funding to bring it to life?

Whether you’re seeking to purchase new equipment, offer group activities, run a community event, create an inspired arts project or upgrade facilities, funding is available.
