Application worksheet

All applications must be submitted on the Grey District Community-Led Vibrancy Fund application form or online.

Funding will only be provided for projects that are held within the Grey District.

We especially welcome and encourage projects that take place on Grey District places or spaces, or involve community-wide events, as these align closely with our goals for broad public benefit.

Preference will be given to projects that enhance the work that will be done through council-aligned revitalisation projects, and community-wide events.

Applications must show alignment with the Council’s vision for the district to become a Thriving, Connected and Resilient community.

Most grants will be under $5000.

Applications must include your organisation’s financial report.

Projects must be coordinated by established community groups, clubs, or associations.

The project work will be done by the relevant community group.

Will the grant directly benefit our community spaces and events within the Grey District?

Will this improve or enhance a community space, or is this a community event?

Will this help bring new life to our communities and enhance community wellbeing?

Will this strengthen the relationship between Council and the community?

Applications must show alignment with the Council’s vision for the district to Thriving, Connected and Resilient community.
