Community Partnership Grants Scheme
The Community Partnership Grant Scheme supports projects and activities that contribute to the development of local Communities or to the Kangaroo Island Community as a whole. It is designed to provide the support that is needed to complete a project, or to encourage the development of projects (in the case of multi-staged projects) and Community Programs.
There is recognised value of the CPGS for the community and for Kangaroo Island Council. Applications that demonstrate a high level of input by the applicant will be received well, for instance, the supply of volunteer labour and materials.
The CPGS 2017-18 funding round has now closed. Successful applicants will be announced soon.
