Applications are now open for the Byron Shire Mayoral Fund and schools, community groups, not-for-profit organisations and even individuals are invited to apply.
Mayor Michael Lyon said the aim of the fund is to help with small expenses, generally related to providing some sort of service or project in the community.
"We are not looking for applications for large amounts of money, rather successful applicants in the past have asked for small amounts for things like sponsorship, school awards, environment programs such as tree planting, advertising for not-for-profit events and community programs for groups including youth," Mayor Lyon said.
"I know that any sort of financial help is welcomed by these groups of people, especially if they rely on fund-raising to enable them to provide their service," he said.
Information and the application form for the Mayoral Fund is on Council's website.
Applications close on 17 September 2021.
