PORT Stephens Council is inviting community groups, organisations and creatives to apply for Round 2 of its Community Funding Program.
The grants support projects that celebrate culture, strengthen community wellbeing and activate public spaces.
Applications for up to $6,000 per project are open until 1 March in the Community Support Fund, Aboriginal Projects Fund and Vibrant Spaces Fund.
“These grants are about backing local ideas that bring people together, celebrate culture, and create places where communities can connect and thrive,” Mayor Leah Anderson said.
“Round 1 showed just how powerful community-led projects can be.
“If you have an idea that can support the community, celebrate culture or breathe new life into a public space, I encourage you to apply.”
These grants form part of Port Stephens Council’s broader Community Funding Program, which also includes year-round funding through the Community Event Development Fund, Sporting Excellence Fund, Major Event Sponsorship Fund and Vibrant Spaces Micro Grant Fund.
For more information, contact the Vibrant Places team on 02 4988 0255 or email pscgrants@portstephens.nsw.gov.au.
