Community Grants

To recognise the importance of community-based organisations, acknowledge the significant contribution they make to the Mosman community and to assist organisations in their endeavours, Mosman Council makes funds available annually through its Community Grants Program. 

The objectives of the Community Grants Program include:

• Assisting community organisations to provide key services to the community that supplement community and cultural service provision in Mosman
• Recognising and encouraging the participation and efforts of the community in the development of projects and activities that benefit the Mosman community

As a guide, each grant is between $500 and $4,000, with $4,000 being the maximum awarded to any one organisation in a year.

To be eligible for a Grant, groups and projects must meet the criteria set out in Council’s Community Grants and Assistance Policy and Grant Application Guide. The policy can be found on Council's policies webpage. 

If you would like to receive updates about future Grants, or if you have a question about the grants programs please email communitygrants@mosman.nsw.gov.au with your contact details and name of organisation you represent.

Community Groups Resources

Council has created a number of infographic resources to support community groups and supplement learning from recent Community Groups Workshops. Community Groups are encouraged to use these infographics as guides to support their organisational development, with information on the topics of Grant Writing, Presenting, Digital Communication, Online Content Creation, Social Media and Fundraising.
