Apply for financial assistance
COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE GRANTS
Council provides financial assistance to individuals and organisations up to twice annually through its Community Assistance Policy.
Council first adopted its Financial Assistance Policy in 1998 to provide financial assistance to community groups and individuals wishing to exercise functions of Council in accordance with Section 356 of the Local Government Act 1993.
It has been revised a number of times since then and is now known as the Community Assistance Policy.
The policy provides for:
- Ongoing / Regular Donations
- Community Assistance Fund – one-off donations
- External Grant Funding Assistance
Under the Community Assistance Grant, Council will advertise up to two rounds of funding each financial year, in August and February, inviting applications for financial assistance from local organisations or individuals. The first round will seek to distribute the maximum amount of the available funds that were included in the One-off Donations annual budget, with the second round in February only required if all funds are not distributed.
The current round of applications will close at 4pm on Friday, 18 October 2024.
Applications received in this round will be assessed at the November 2024 Council meeting.
On-line applications are preferred, and you can do that by clicking here. However, application forms and further information are also available from the Kyogle Council Administration Centre, 1 Stratheden Street, Kyogle, or by clicking here.
