Maitland City Council’s Bi-Annual Community Grants Program provides financial support to local community organisations/groups to deliver initiatives that meet community needs and benefit residents in our community.
The Community Celebrations Grants Program supports groups and community organisations to run events and activities that encourage community participation and involvement, promote leadership and develop a strong sense of belonging.
The Community Celebrations Grant Program has two distinctive subcategories* designed to assist in the coordination of activities and events within the Maitland LGA:
Commemorative Days – activities and events which acknowledge and commemorate the service and sacrifice of the men and women who served Australia and its allies in wars, conflicts and peace operations.
Recognised Days and Weeks – significant cultural and community initiatives which celebrate national and international days or weeks.
*These categories may be subject to change as part of an annual review.
