Community Grants and Sponsorship

Welcome to Central Coast Council's online portal for community grants and sponsorship.

The grants and sponsorship program gives eligible individuals, community organisations and businesses the opportunity to apply for funds to deliver initiatives that make a real difference to local communities and our region. These funding programs play a pivotal role in building capacity by supporting initiatives that align with our One-Central Coast Community Strategic Plan and improve the quality of life and well-being of people who live, study, visit and work on the Central Coast.
