The aim of the Community Grant Program is to provide assistance to local community groups / organisations that make positive contributions to the quality of life within the local government area.

The Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley is committed to providing support for not for profit, community based, sporting, cultural, environmental, service groups and associations. This support is to foster high quality programs, community events, facilities and services that provide benefit to the community in alignment with the Council’s Strategic Community Plan.

Quick Grants are a mechanism for the Shire to support local clubs and community groups for amounts of up to $500.00. The grants are available at any time and the application process is relatively simple. Quick Grants primarily cater for small projects and initiatives that are unlikely to be planned many months in advance.

Organisations are eligible for one Quick Grant per financial year and can be submitted at any time.

Funding Amounts:

• Applications under $500 (ex GST)
• Applicants are not required to make a co-contribution
