Cowra Community Grants Round 1 2025 Now Open

Cowra Council is pleased to announce that applications are now open for round 1 of the Cowra Community Grants Program.

This long-running initiative has provided more than $456,000 in support to 382 community projects since its inception, boosting everything from grassroots sport to essential facility upgrades and small capital equipment for local volunteer groups.

The most recent funding round saw 21 local projects share in over $26,700, supporting groups such as Cowra Little Athletics, Cowra Uniting Food Hall, Woodstock Memorial Show, and the Salvation Army Cowra, among many others. The funded projects included everything from air-conditioning and lighting upgrades to new equipment and event infrastructure, all helping to make life better across our community.

The Community Grants program provides funding towards community projects, community events, small capital equipment purchases, and community buildings and facilities to support primarily volunteer run community not-for-profit organisations in their activities where there is a benefit for the wider community.
