Funding round now open to sporting and community groups.

Sporting and community groups can now apply for grants of up $5000 to support local projects, including purchase of small equipment, minor facility upgrades, and program and training delivery.

The current round of the Kwinana Community Funding Program is open until Wednesday 21 September 2022.

An ongoing partnership between the City of Kwinana and the Kwinana Community Chest pools resources to provide the funding program.

City of Kwinana Mayor Carol Adams said the Kwinana Community Funding Program had enabled local sporting and community groups to experience a greater level of local support since it began in 2017.

“Local groups can apply for financial support to run programs, projects, workshops and training, or to purchase equipment,” Mayor Adams said.

Kwinana Community Chest Trustee John Iriks said the Kwinana Community Funding Program provided financial support to community groups within the City that meet the program’s objectives in facilitating community development.

“The Program welcomes applications of up to $5000 from local community organisations to support capacity building and community engagement projects that will be undertaken within Kwinana,” Mr Iriks said.
