Community Partnerships
Investment for community-based social services
Overview
Community Partnerships is a stream of the Community Investment Program. It aims to support not-for-profit, community-based organisations to deliver much-needed programs and services to disadvantaged residents of Randwick Local Government Area (LGA).
Application dates for 2024
Applications for 2024 will open on 13 May, closing on 10 June. The application form will become available here shortly before the opening date.
Only incorporated, not-for-profit social service organisations are eligible to apply for funding under this program. Applicant organisations must demonstrate the appropriate level of experience, skill and professional qualifications to deliver services designed to improve the health and wellbeing of specific priority groups within the community.
What can you apply for?
Funding is available for one-, two-, or three-year projects. A maximum of $20,000 per year may be requested.
Applicants should be aware that due to high demand for Community Partnerships funding, not all eligible applications will be successful, and the full amount requested cannot always be granted.
How are applications assessed?
Applications for funding from the Community Partnerships stream will be assessed against a set of detailed criteria. This includes Council's Local Area Priorities, which were identified through the Randwick Social Study (2021).
The current Local Area Priorities for the City of Randwick are:
- Domestic and family violence
- Housing affordability and homelessness
- The needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
- Targeted education, employment and engagement opportunities for young people
- In-home services for people with support needs
- Mental health and social-emotional wellbeing
