The Strathbogie Shire Community Grants program encourages community organisations and community groups to apply for up to $20,000 funding through the Sustainability Grants for community led projects that reduce emissions with a focus on energy saving initiatives at community managed, Council owned facilities, and reducing waste going to landfill.

Funding of up to $20,000 is available to not-for-profit organisations. You must provide an applicant contribution, cash or in-kind, to the costs of the project.

Any in-kind contributions requested from Council must be included in the total amount you are applying for which cannot exceed the grant limit of $20,000. For example, if you are requesting the maximum of $20,000 and request a $1,000 Council in-kind contribution for venue hire, Council's contribution would be in-kind to the value of $1,000 and grant funds (cash) to the value of $9,000.

You will need to contact the Community Development Officer on 1800 065 993 or by email info@strathbogie.vic.gov before you commence your application.

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