Local community groups are encouraged to apply for assistance under Kingston's 2023-24 Annual Grants round.

Last year social welfare groups, schools, theatres, and sporting clubs across our city shared in just over $1.62 million to continue their exceptional work thanks to the community grants program, and applications are again being invited from groups seeking financial support.

Kingston Mayor Hadi Saab said Council is extremely proud to support the many local groups providing high-quality and important services that help make Kingston such a wonderful place to live, work and play.

"Our grants program was established to enable partnerships between Council and our community to address needs, support initiatives that strengthen community participation, development and inclusion and foster support," Cr Saab said.

"These grants give local community groups a valuable boost to continue their invaluable work and the program is also an equitable way for our community to seek funding assistance from Council."

The grants include four categories:
