Grants

We are committed to supporting the many community groups, businesses and individuals who make our community a vibrant place to live, work and play. One way we can do this is through the Onkaparinga Grants program.

We provide 16 grant programs under six categories. Some of our grants are open all year, until the funding has been fully allocated. Other grants have an open and close date with a competitive assessment process.

We encourage you to use the ‘Grant selector’ interactive tool to guide you to the most appropriate grant for your project. Or, feel free to browse the Onkaparinga Grants Summary document or the grant categories below.
