2024 Community Grants Program Survey |
Community Grants Program Survey
Council’s Community Connections and Partnerships Team (the Grants Team) are undertaking a review of the Community Grants Program. We would value your feedback to understand the following:
- level of community satisfaction with existing Program
- how responsive the Program is to community need
- how clear and useable the Program guidelines and application forms are.
This survey is open residents of the Sunshine Coast Local Government Area only.
What is the Community Grants Program and why do we have it?
Sunshine Coast Council is proud to support our local community groups and the amazing work they do to make our region a great place to live, work and play through the Community Grants Program.
The Program aims to acknowledge and strengthen the valuable contribution that community groups and their volunteers make towards achieving our shared vision and goal of being Australia’s most sustainable region: healthy, smart, creative and fostering strong communities within the Sunshine Coast.
The Program focus is on supporting groups to deliver community-led projects, events and activities that respond to community needs and opportunities, provide broad community benefit and are aligned with Council’s priorities.
In 2023/2024, $1,581,121 was awarded to support 482 community projects through the Community Grants Program. A total of $2,889,835 was requested with 609 applications submitted.
