Community Funding

The Individual Development Program and Community Development Grants are now fully expended for this financial year 2024/25.

We will not be accepting any new applications during the month of June 2025. The grant program will return in July 2025.

The City of South Perth recognises the importance of supporting community development. Funding opportunities are available to community organisations and individuals in a variety of categories.

Individual Development Program

The Individual Development Program is open to individuals who are residents of the City of South Perth and have been selected to represent the state or country in interstate or international championships, competitions or significant cultural, academic or community service activities.

The maximum grant that may be awarded in this category is:

  • $200 for interstate travel/accommodation
  • $300 for international travel/accommodation.

Community Development Grant

Community Development Grants provide grants of up to $5,000 to sporting clubs, community groups and other organisations for minor non-recurrent projects that provide benefit to the City of South Perth community. The grant is available throughout the year (until the pool of funds is exhausted).

Applications must be submitted at least four weeks prior to the project start date.
