Warrnambool City Council

Warrnambool City Council offers two grant programs to individuals, community organisations amd businesses in the arts, recreation, events and sustainability.

Community Development Fund

The Community Development Fund grant program has operated since 1999 to support not-for-profit groups, based in Warrnambool, to fund projects and activities that contribute to the livibility of the City.

Priority is given to proposals that;

- focus on addressing access and inclusion outcomes for women and girls, and people with a disability,

- target and encourage participation and community involvement in creative outcomes.

 

Festivals and Events Grants and Partnerships Program

The Festivals and Events grants program supports, partners, facilitates and delivers some 150 events annually. Council acknowledges that events not only build community, they are important drivers of tourism and are a great way to promote a destination.

Events bring together young and old and disparate subcultures, enlarge social networks, and support social cohesion, whilst growing the visitor economy and driving economic outcomes.

The grant program supports events which contribute to the local economy and build the profile of Warrnambool as a vibrant regional city.
