Funding and Grants Advice
Richmond Valley Council is keen to see organisations in the Richmond Valley successfully tender for, receive and acquit funding.
There is no staff member in Council who is responsible to undertake this task, however staff to run Workshops (including a Grant Training Workbook) for people interested in learning to apply for grants. This training includes information about ways to search for available grants. Council staff do however provide specific assistance for the Community Development Support (CDSE) and Community Builders Grants.
Council also assists those that have been trained in grant writing with more complex elements of funding submissions. Please note that it is not possible or appropriate for staff to write funding submissions for other organisations. Council can write support letters for funding applications.
Richmond Valley Council offers community groups very small grants through what is known as s356 applications (for Section 356 of the Local Government Act).
