Community Grants Program
Katherine Town Council's Community Grants Program is dedicated to supporting local individuals, organisations and groups who are passionate about making a positive impact within our community. These grants are to help fund initiatives that align with Katherine Town Council’s 5 year strategic plan, promoting community development, enhancing social cohesion and address local needs.
Council provides up to $40,000 annually in funding. Applicants may apply for a minor grant of up to $2,000 for capital purchases or initiatives, or up to $5,000 for a major event.
Application Process
Katherine Town Council’s Community Grants Program opens the 1st of August through to 31st August every year.
The applications are assessed by the Community Grants Assessment Panel who then make recommendation to Council for endorsement. Once the grant applications have been adopted by Council, grant funding letters are emailed directly to applicant advising them of outcome (Late September/Early October).
