The Strathbogie Shire Community Grants program encourages community organisations and community groups to apply for funding through the Quick Response grants for inclusive community led projects delivered within the community. 

These grants will support projects that align with the Community Vision and bring people together to connect, collaborate, celebrate, upskill, share resources, and put ideas into action.

Outcomes of funded projects may include, for example, social connection, health, wellbeing, safety, community arts, positive cultural or environmental outcomes, economic development, and increased visitor economy. Quick Response grants of up to $1,000 will support smaller projects addressing community identified needs as they arise

Community groups that are incorporated, have an ABN, a bank account, and have at least $20mil Public Liability insurance are eligible to apply.
