The Local Creativity Grant funds local creative and cultural organisations, groups, and individuals to deliver opportunities for the Penrith community to participate in local creative and cultural life. This grant is open once a year – penrith.city/grants for relevant dates.
We encourage applications from First Nations groups, organisations, artists, and collectives, and those that support and celebrate First Nations individuals, communities and culture in Penrith.
Before completing the application form, please ensure you read the Guidelines in full. It is recommended that you discuss your idea with the Cultural Strategy Officer at Council before applying: Cultural.Strategy@penrith.city or 4732 7777.
Please note: an organisation may only submit two grant applications per grant round, unless acting as an auspice. Applicants that possess the same ABN will be regarded as coming from the same organisation. This form is designed to be filled out by the auspicee, not the organisation acting as the auspice. Please contact Council if your auspice arrangement stipulates that the auspicor should complete the application form.
