Applications from individuals or athletes/sporting groups who are formally endorsed by their sport’s governing body, a club or other incorporated body will be considered for funding under Council's Grants for the Community Program.
Individuals may receive up to $500 towards their involvement in their chosen sport or interest. Groups or teams attending the same event can apply for a group total of up to $2,000 (excl GST).
Applications should clearly demonstrate that the individual/group is unable to self-fund and that his/her personal circumstances indicate that additional assistance is required. All information on the individual will be treated in confidence. A recognised sports governing body, Club or other Incorporated body MUST agree to formally auspice the grant. Please note: Funds will NOT be given directly to an individual. The auspicing body will be required to manage all grant funds on behalf of the applicant.
Projects that do not fit into any of the above funding areas may still be considered. If you are uncertain as to whether your project meets the funding criteria, please contact the Community Projects Officer via grants@willoughby.nsw.gov.au or on 9777 7982 for assistance.
