Welcome to the application form for North Sydney Council's Small Grants.
This grant program should be seen as a contribution rather than a commitment to fund the entire project. It provides financial contributions to local, not-for-profit organisations. Dollar allocations are determined according to a project review, the project’s capacity to address areas of high priority social need and the organisation’s financial capabilities.
Funding amounts are up to $2,000.
When applying for this program you need to answer these questions:
- Why are you doing this project?
- How will you deliver it?
- Who will benefit?
