Grants Programs

Parramatta City Council currently administers two funding programs focused on community capacity building & community development. They are:

• Parramatta City Council Annual Grants Program
• Community Development Support Expenditure Grant Scheme

Parramatta City Council (PCC) Annual Grants Program

Parramatta City Councils Community Grants Program runs annually and has provided support to Parramattas local organisations and communities since 1992. In 2006 the program was reviewed to create a stronger alignment with PCCs direction, as detailed in the Parramatta Twenty25 strategy. Many local organisations were consulted as part of the review process and provided valuable input to the revised program. The new program will distribute $400,000 per annum to local organisations and is divided into the 7 categories.
