Other grant funding opportunities

Northern Grampians Shire Council Grants are a fantastic resource for our community and a great way to fund your project however funds are limited and grant focus areas may not be suitable to your needs.
Looking for funding opportunities outside of NGSC can be time-consuming and challenging however we have made it a whole lot easier.
