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 Projects Grant aims to build sustainable local communities and enhance the wellbeing and development of the Maitland community. This grant supports community groups and community organisations seeking support to deliver community driven programs and initiatives which demonstrate a strong benefit to the community, with defined objectives and outcomes.
The Community Projects Grant Program has three distinctive sub-categories* designed to support community led projects, activities and events which contribute to enhancing community wellbeing and/or strengthen the ability of community organisations to respond to community needs:
Community Strengthening – capacity building: projects that meet an identified need for the local community, foster opportunities for community participation and allow the community to connect and celebrate with one another.
Creative Community – arts and culture: projects that provide opportunities across a broad range of arts, culture and/or local history activities that enhance the quality of life of the community.
Healthy Active Living – leisure and recreation: projects that provide opportunities for leisure and recreational activities with the aim of improving health, fitness and quality of life of the community
*These categories may be subject to change as part of an annual review.
