Community Grants Program

Community groups and sporting associations are encouraged to apply for funding through the Shire of Nannup Community Grants program for consideration in the upcoming budget. Each year the Community Grant program will be available over two rounds.

Round one opens in March and closes on the last day in April for projects to commence between July to December.

Round two opens in September and closes on the last day in October for projects to commence between January to December, 

Funding priority will be given to projects that: 

  • align with the Shire of Nannup Vision
  • have benefit to the community of Nannup as a major outcome
  • promote community involvement, groups / individuals working together incorporate a variety of sectors for example: youth, seniors, parents, sports people, artists, people with disabilities, families
  • promote sustainability (rather than reliance on grants)
  • initiatives that demonstrate a creative approach

Preference is given to applications that demonstrate a commitment either in cash or in-kind toward a project. Funding for projects on private property are generally not approved. An acquittal will only be required for projects that received funding for medium and large grants.
