About
Strathbogie Shire Council’s Community Grants contribute funds to projects that align with the 2021-2025 Council Plan bringing people together to connect, collaborate, celebrate, upskill, share resources, and put ideas into action.
Succesful outcomes of funded projects may include, for example, social connection, inclusion, health, wellbeing, safety, community arts, positive cultural or environmental outcomes, economic development, and increased visitor economy.
Funding Available
- Community Strengthening Grants – up to $10,000
- These grants support local community groups and creatives to implement accessible community projects that they design and deliver. It focuses on people and social connection; building community capacity around the principles of respect and equality; and locally led responses to opportunities and needs. These grants support larger projects that will be completed within the financial year.
- Quick Response Grants – up to $1,000

These grants support smaller, spontaneous projects that can be completed within three months.
- Community Conversations – January 26th
- The Community Conversations- January 26 grants support one facilitated community discussion per township on how the local community wants to navigate January 26th into the future.
