Randwick City Council is committed to empowering our local individuals, community groups and community organisations by providing targeted financial assistance for ideas, initiatives and services which are needs-based, inclusive, impactful and create a 'sense of community'. 

Since 2008, Council has proudly supported local community initiatives through various grants, donations, and subsidy programs. The Community Investment Program was developed in 2020 with four key streams.

Application dates for Round One 2026 have been finalised below. Round Two and Three will be posted at a later date.

Note: Different timeframes apply to other funding streams. Please refer to the relevant webpages for information on Community Partnerships and Community Sustainable.
