The City of Unley has a range of grants and sponsorships to suit the needs of our active community. This video shows some examples of a few of our past successful recipients.
Community groups, organisations and individuals are invited to apply for grant funding of up to $5,000* through the City of Unley’s Community Grants Program offered twice a year.
The purpose of the program is to encourage and support community initiatives that respond to local needs, enhance community wellbeing and quality of life and are of benefit to our residents.
If you have any questions regarding the program, eligibility of your project or how to apply, please contact the City of Unley on 8372 5111 and ask to speak with the Cultural Development Coordinator.
