Community Grant Funding Program
One of the ways the City of Port Lincoln empowers its community is by facilitating innovative, local events and programs through its Community Grant Funding Program.
Targeted categories allow community organisations and groups to access the right funding for their project and deliver great outcomes for the community which align with Council's Strategic Directions Plan.
Funding categories:
Successful projects will be those that:
- Are innovative, unique and respond to identified needs or gaps in the community;
- Build capacity and provide opportunity for community members to come together, develop skills, confidence, and knowledge
- Support celebration of place and culture
- Promote community identity and pride
- Positively promote and activate Council facilities, spaces and infrastructure
- Contribute to the visitor economy
- Positively promote the region as a destination of choice
- Enhance experiences for locals and visitors
Current funding rounds:
