Community funding opportunities

Three funding opportunities are now open to community members through Naracoorte Lucindale Council.

Community Budget Submissions

It’s time to put forward your ideas to help shape the Council’s 2025-2026 Budget.

Community budget submissions are invited until 5pm Friday 28 February 2025.

Requests can be for community projects and sponsorships that fall outside of Council’s existing Community Chest program.

For more information, including the community budget submission guidelines and application form, go to https://yoursay.naracoortelucindale.sa.gov.au/

Community Chest

Nominations are still open for Council’s popular Community Chest program.

Community Chest aims to encourage, develop and support community and sporting groups to increase usage of local facilities, foster development of community services, activities and events, providing opportunities for community participation and benefitting residents of Naracoorte Lucindale Council.

Grants are generally restricted to a maximum of $3,000 with a preferred 50% contribution from the applicant.

The guidelines and application form are available from the Council offices and on the website at https://bit.ly/nlccommchest

Applications will close at 5pm on Friday 21 February 2025.

Community Art Fund

Do you have some community art ideas to enrich the cultural identity of our local area?

Council’s Community Art Fund is now open and will close on Saturday 15 March 2025.

There is up to $10,000 available for public art projects and placemaking activities that create a sense of identity.
