Pausing council’s 2024-25 grants program

As part of our efforts to improve the council’s financial position, Council has decided to temporarily pause the Onkaparinga Grants program for the 2024-25 financial year. This means that no grants will be offered during this period.

We understand that this decision will impact many community groups, businesses, and individuals who rely on our grants to support their initiatives. This pause is only temporary— the grants program will return in the next financial year and we will be working to reshape the program, ensuring better alignment to the Community Plan, and better outcomes for the community.

In the meantime, we encourage you to explore other funding sources available from state and federal governments, as well as philanthropic organisations. To assist you, we offer a free grant finder tool on our website.

Additionally, we are happy to provide a letter of support for any funding applications you may be submitting.

If you need further information or assistance, please do not hesitate email us at grants@onkaparinga.sa.gov.au
