Grants Policy

The purpose of the Council Grants Policy is to ensure that requests for funding support from the community are managed in a consistent, transparent and equitable manner.

Council regularly receives requests from community groups to provide funding support for a range of programs, projects, events and initiatives. Council funding support may be in the form of a grant, donation, sponsorship, fee reduction or waiver. Implementation of the policy will ensure that responses to requests for funding support are managed in a way that aligns identified community need with Council strategic priorities and provides community benefit.

The policy applies to eligible organisations and community groups seeking funding support from Council, either based
in the Mount Alexander Shire or with demonstrated links to communities within the Shire.
