Hobsons Bay 2021 Community grants program

Hobsons Bay Community Grants program

 

2021 Hobsons Bay Community Grants Program is now closed

As we respond to the COVID-19 environment, there has never been more need for a strong and vibrant community sector.

At the Ordinary Council Meeting of 11 August, Hobsons Bay City Council endorsed the 2021 Community Grants Program, allocating $245,500 across 162 applications.

The 2021 Community Grants Program funded projects from local not for profit groups and clubs, networks and community organisations to support the purchase of equipment and/or resources, initiatives, capacity building, new ideas and small group expenses.

The list of successful applicants is available at the bottom of this page.

The community grants program has been fully allocated, with $50,000 to be released as quick grants at a later date. Council will review the timing and intent of this next grant round in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 response and support for the community. 

Future grant programs are announced online and Facebook. To receive information regarding future community grants, please email your name, group and email contact to commdev@hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au

Council values the contribution community groups make to the health and wellbeing of the City of Hobsons Bay, specifically supporting community members throughout the COVID-19 environment, and looks forward to continuing to support community groups and organisations through its grants program.
