The City of Casey will be opening their applications for its 2026-27 grant programs, encouraging individuals, community groups and organisations who work to serve the community to apply.
Registered non-for-profit community groups and organisations are eligible to apply for a community grant of up to $5000.
Successful applicants will see funds go on to support local projects, programs and events that aim to further benefit the local community in Casey.
Following applications, a designated panel, endorsed by the council, will review applications according to an assessment criteria.
The panel will assess applicants based on the proposed project’s community benefit, community need, community involvement and its capacity to deliver and budget a project.
Through the community grant, the endorsed panel will focus on Casey’s outlined grant categories, including arts and culture, diversity and harmony, health, wellbeing and equity, environmental sustainability.
It also considers applicants connection to the council’s six health focus areas, including preventions in violence, homelessness, its capacity to empower community and much more.
Past recipients of grants include Project 61 International which were granted $2800 for its skill development workshops for women and girls.
Another applicant in 2025, Young Generation Filipino Senior Citizens Club of the South-East, received a $5000 grant for its cultural dancing and art program.
