The City of Mitcham Grants Program provides funding to eligible groups, organisations and individual residents who present applications that demonstrate alignment with City of Mitcham's strategic objectives that can be found within the Mitcham 2030 document

My Mitcham Community Grants will be offered in two rounds each year, one in February and one in August except in an election year where the August round will not be available.
