The Claremont Community Funding Program provides financial assistance to groups and individuals who aim to benefit the Town by encouraging social activity, vibrancy, community participation, and sustainability within Claremont.

Who we can support

We can assist:

• Not-for-profits
• Community groups and services
• Charitable organisations
• Social enterprises
• Individuals

As our community grants are about benefiting the Claremont community, unfortunately we're unable to assist groups or individuals that are:

• Based in Claremont, but aiming to enhance or support communities beyond Claremont
• Eligible for funding at a State or Federal Government level, eg from the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries

Grant amounts

We usually award small grants of up to $2,000 depending on the project and benefits to the community.

We will consider grants above this amount for larger-scale initiatives that demonstrate an ongoing benefit to a significant portion the community.

How to apply

To apply for a community grant:

1. Complete the community funding application form 
2. Complete both sides of the direct deposit request and statement by a supplier form
3. Return both forms, with any attachments, to the Town of Claremont by email, post or in person, marked for the attention of the Community Development team
