Local not-for-profit organisations and community groups can apply for Manningham Council’s latest round of Community Partnership Grants, which support projects that drive long-term community and cultural development across the region.

Eligible groups can apply for funding across 3 key streams:

• Community development – initiatives that deliver essential services, programs, and responses to the needs of Manningham’s diverse community
• Minor community events – to support the activation of key locations and attract people to Manningham
• Major community events – to support the activation of key locations, attracting and engaging a minimum of 8,000 people to key events in Manningham

Successful applicants could receive funding for up to 4 years, providing long-term support for projects that make a meaningful impact in the Manningham community.

Applications are open from Monday 27 October and close at 5pm on Wednesday 10 December, with funding available for activities scheduled from 1 July 2026 – 30 June 2030.
