Community Support Grants
City West Water’s Community Support Grants provide not-for–profit organisations with the opportunity to save water and encourage conservation and environmental responsibility in their communities.
City West Water believes that communities are often in the best position to recognise and address water conservation and environmental issues. We recognise that to do this, we need to support programs that share our values and strategic goals:
-
environment - significantly more with significantly less
-
community - partnering for a sustainable outcome
-
customers - conservers not consumers.
We have developed the Community Support Program (CSP) to work in partnership with the community and deliver outcomes, that provide environmental and community benefits.
To obtain funding, the application should meet program criteria.
Small Grants Program Funding Limits
Grants of up to $5,500 (incl GST) are available for community organisations to undertake small-scale projects (e.g. installation of rainwater tanks, water efficient dual flush toilets, the construction of vegetable patch and water/environment savvy gardens) that will directly assist the local community in water conservation.
