Grants

Kiama Municipal Council values the contributions of community groups, interest groups, artists, event professionals and businesses to the community. The contributions significantly enhance the wellbeing and economy of our community. To support and recognise these contributions, Council offers financial assistance through the Grants and Donations Program.

Council’s Grants and Donations Program aim to support initiatives, events and activities that address identified community needs and interests; and promote and foster a vibrant, inclusive, resilient, innovative, and sustainable community within the Kiama Local Government Area (LGA).
