WELCOME

Welcome to the City of Greater Geraldton's Community Grants Program.

The aim of this program is to provide assistance to not-for-profit community groups, clubs and organisations to implement projects, activities, programs and services that enhance and promote community well-being within the Greater Geraldton region.

The Community Grants Program is offered twice a year for community-based projects, activities or services that:

  • promote an engaged and diverse community where everyone feels included and safe.
  • protect and enhance our natural environment with facilities and services to support community health and wellbeing.
  • promote an economically diverse and prosperous community, driving sustainable growth while preserving our local spirit.
  • promote a progressive community where informed decisions, strong advocacy and an enabling culture drives sustainable regional growth.
