Council recognises and values the strengths of the Camden community, including the strong sense of belonging, demonstrated through participation in a range of community, sporting and cultural activities implemented by community organisations and groups.
Community organisations and groups delivering essential services to the Camden local community have been impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic and the number of residents accessing these services has increased as a direct result.
The 2021 inaugural COVID-19 Community Grant Program (the Grant) has been adapted from Council’s Community Small Grants and Sponsorship programs and designed to address the challenges faced by community organisations, groups and the wider community during the COVID-19 pandemic and throughout the recovery period.
The Grant will make funding available to incorporated associations and not-for-profit groups located in or servicing the Camden Local Government Area (LGA). Applications should promote community wellbeing, resilience and encourage social connections throughout the local community, addressing issues such as social isolation, community welfare, mental health and engaging and encouraging residents through community and sporting participation.
Funds can be applied for projects or programs that can show evidence of providing direct benefit to the local community, sporting community and assist with community recovery and resilience. Be as creative as you like, the grant can encompass any idea within the framework below. Digital or online delivery may also be applicable.
This application form is for Sport and Recreation.
Applications to this Grant can be made at any time from 5pm 17 March 2021 until 19 April 2021.
