The 2024/25 Community Grant round opens on 1 July 2024 and closes 4PM Monday 5 August 2024.


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.

    Through this program, Council has awarded thousands across the Shire to support community and volunteer organisations. If you're a former successful recipient, we'd love to hear your story so that you can encourage other people to get involved and apply so that together, we can help drive positive outcomes across all of our community.
