Sydney Water, through its annual Community Grants Program, is supporting local community groups to delivery projects across Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, and the Illawarra area, with applications now open for community grants of up to $10,000.
Applications are sought from grassroots community groups, volunteer organisations, education institutions, local government (with community partners), sporting groups, and other community-minded organisations that share the vision of driving a sustainable water future with a focus on water education, healthy waterways or water conversation.
We encourage you to read the Program's Guidelines and Terms & Conditions before preparing your application to ensure your organisation, volunteer group, or partnership arrangement is eligible to receive a community grant. Frequently Asked Questions are also available to assist you. Alternatively, please email communitygrants@sydneywater.com.au.
Projects receiving a community grant must be undertaken within Sydney Water’s area of operation.
After reading the Guidelines, please click the button below to start your application. We suggest you allow up to 60 minutes to complete this task. Before submitting your application, you can save your work and return to it later. Applications submitted by post or email will not be accepted.
Applications close at 5PM on Monday, 16 June 2025 (AEST).
Unfortunately, we cannot accept late applications.
