Our Community Grants Program provides an opportunity for community groups and organisations to seek funds for projects and initiatives that benefit the community at large, when funds are not readily available from other sources.

The objective of the Community Grants Program is to provide an opportunity for community groups and organisations to seek funds for projects and initiatives which align with Council Plan objectives and Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing objectives and support community connections, improve community health and wellbeing and social inclusion opportunities across the Shire.

The Indigo Shire Community Grants and Awards Advisory Committee assesses all applications before providing funding recommendations to Council.


Please see the Community Grant Guidelines below to understand the requirements for the 2025/26 grant application:
