Help us make accessing community grants easy
Maitland Community Grants (currently referred to as Section 356 Community Grants) play a pivotal role in our community, supporting various initiatives spanning health, welfare, sports, recreation, arts, culture and education. However, given that our current grants model has remained unchanged for the past 5 years, it's time for a refresh.
Our primary goal is to create a streamlined grants process that makes applying for grants simple, easy to access and reflects the changing needs of our community. We want to ensure our grants programs are fair, inclusive, efficient, transparent and user friendly.
As a previous applicant or recipient of one of our grants, or as a member of our Maitland Sport and Recreation Advisory Board, we are keen to hear what you have to say about our current Community Grants Program. Your feedback will help guide the review outcomes and help inform recommendations for an improved grants model.
