Applications are now open for Blue Mountains City Council’s 2025 Community Assistance Program (CAP) grants.

CAP grants provide funds to help local community organisations to provide a diverse range of activities and services to meet the changing needs of Blue Mountains residents.

Grants are open to local not for profit community organisations with projects that directly benefit the quality of life and wellbeing of the local community.

Blue Mountains Mayor, Mark Greenhill said: “The Community Assistance Program is just one of the ways Council recognises and supports the important work local community organisations do.

“We are lucky to have so many wonderful organisations that are committed to improving the quality of life and wellbeing of the Blue Mountains community. And these grants are designed to enhance the essential work they do supporting residents and the community.”

Grants of up to $1750 are available for eligible community organisations. Please read the guidelines carefully to check if you’re eligible before you apply.

 

Applications close Monday 5 May.
