Community Grants

Yarra provides a range of community grants to support local groups and community initiatives.

Each year we distribute more than $2 million to strengthen our community and promote health and wellbeing. The grant program ranges across several areas including community development, arts and culture, environment, sport and recreation, youth and families.

You can learn about how we manage the grants program, including the application and assessment process, through our Grants Administration Guide (PDF 1.7MB).

Community training

We offer community training sessions throughout the year to support not-for profit and community organisations in Yarra to run as effectively as possible. 

This is a great opportunity for people involved in local community organisations to seek advice and information about how to apply for grants, managing relationships, project management and media strategies.
