The Council will provide the provision of financial assistance to promote and support community-based initiatives which meet the Shire’s strategic direction annually through the Community Grants Program.

This is an annual application based, contestable funding opportunity for a once off contribution for a specific purpose. The Community Grants Program opens in March each year and closes the last Friday of April. The applications are reviewed in May and the recommendations go to Council for consideration during the adoption of the annual budget.

Applications that address the Shire of Boyup Brook’s Strategic Community Plan will have a stronger likelihood of success. Click on the link to access the Strategic Community Plan

Applications $1,000 and under must be made via letter, outlining the project, community benefit and applicants contribution. Applications over $1,001 must complete the application form and provide additional supporting information. Only complete applications will be considered.
