The Community Wellbeing Grant supports initiatives that enhance the health, safety, and inclusion of Eurobodalla residents.

It aligns with the "Our Community" theme of the Eurobodalla Community Strategic Plan 2042, celebrating and supporting people of all ages.

Funded projects must address one or more of these objectives:

• Enhance community health and wellbeing: support projects that promote physical, mental, and social wellbeing for residents of all ages.
• Support youth development and engagement: fund initiatives that create opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and participate in their community.
• Strengthen community safety and resilience: assist emergency and volunteer organisations in maintaining essential services that protect and support the community.
• Encourage environmental and sustainability stewardship: provide assistance for environmental and sustainability projects that benefit the Eurobodalla region.

Grants of up to $2,000 are available to support costs associated with delivering a community wellbeing project.

Applicants can be from one of these categories:

• Not-for-profit and community organisations: groups delivering programs that improve health, wellbeing, and social inclusion to residents of Eurobodalla.
• Youth-focused organisations: groups supporting young people through skills development and engagement initiatives.
• Emergency and volunteer services: organisations such as Surf Life Saving Clubs, Volunteer Coastal Patrol, and Rescue Squads that contribute to community safety.
• Individuals or teams representing Eurobodalla: athletes, artists, and community members selected to compete or perform at state, national, or international levels.

Applicants with outstanding debts to Council or who have existing Council grant funding that has not yet been expended or acquitted will not be eligible to apply.

Applicants submitting proposals for community events will not be eligible for Community Wellbeing Grants. These applicants are encouraged to apply for support through a Community Events Grant which is designed to assist with event-related initiatives.
