Application dates

Funding through previous Council grants
- A group, organisation or individual artist can apply to fund a one-off project or build on a project that previously received a seeding grant.
- If your project has been successful for two years in a row, any further application for funding should be in the form of an Operational grant.
- Projects that have an auspice arrangement can apply for one Project grant only.
The application process: talk to us first
- Council can give you feedback on your funding ideas.
- All proposals must be discussed with the Grants Officer on 9240 1111 or email Grants at Moreland.
- We suggest you do this at least 2 weeks before the application due date.
- Read tips on filling in your application.
Eligibility criteria
- Priority will be given to applications which demonstrate the extent to which the project will meet the targeted needs of Moreland residents and show a direct link to the Council Plan.
- Applications which demonstrate the extent to which the project targets disadvantaged residents or major issues of community concern.
- Applications which clearly demonstrate capacity to deliver the proposed project.
- Applications demonstrating clear project timelines, budget, outcomes and community benefit.
- Groups or individual artists applying through an auspice arrangement (one off funding only).
