Help shape how Council funds a healthier, more connected Whitehorse.
What is the Whitehorse Community Grants Program?
Whitehorse City Council provides grants to a wide range of local groups in the community to support initiatives that build social connections, promote wellbeing and encourage healthy lifestyles. Council is committed to providing this funding efficiently, equitable and ethically.
What is the Whitehorse Community Grants Policy?
The Whitehorse Community Grants Policy sets the framework for how we deliver this financial support to community organisations through the Community Grants Program.
Whitehorse City Council is reviewing its Community Grants Policy —last updated in 2022— to ensure it is effectively guiding equitable, transparent and strategic funding decisions aligned with Council priorities.
Your feedback from our initial engagement has shaped the proposed Draft Community Grants and Discounts Policy 2025-2029.
