We want your input

Penrith City Council is updating its Community Funding Program and we are seeking your input on the changes that will improve access to funding for applicants and recipients.

This review aims to deliver:

  • A simple and efficient grants process; easier application and acquittal.
  • Improved support for community groups and organisations in accessing community funding.
  • Improved access to grants for diverse artists, community groups and organisations.
  • Increased adaptability so that Council can work with stakeholders and distribute funding as community needs emerge.
  • Greater certainty for community planning; know what grants will be available and when.


    • To provide feedback on the proposed changes, please complete the short survey below. We will also host workshops with stakeholders in early 2024. Please register your interest by filling in the form below.

    Funding Streams

    The updated Community Funding Program is envisaged to incorporate three streams of funding - Stronger Communities, Creative Communities and Vibrant Communities.
