Round 3 of the Community Sponsorship Program 2023/2024 will open on 1 May and close on 31 May. This funding opportunity enables Council to work in partnership with the Hawkesbury community to build a vibrant, connected, and liveable community.
There are three categories within the Community Sponsorship Program.
Resilient Hawkesbury
Council may provide funding to community programs that help to build a connected, healthy, inclusive and resilient Hawkesbury. Maximum funding of $3000.
Participation
Financial assistance may be provided to support the participation of residents who have been selected to represent the Hawkesbury in state, national, or international sporting competitions and cultural events. The level of contribution is $150 for individuals and $750 for a team of five or more.
Access to Community Facilities
Not for profit community groups located in the Hawkesbury or providing services to the Hawkesbury, can apply for financial assistance for a subsidy of 50% off the cost of hiring a Council or community facility up to a maximum contribution of $750.
Council is hoping to see diverse applications in the next round of the Community Sponsorship Program.
