Auspices
If your group or organisation is ineligible to apply, you may enter into an agreement with an eligible not-for-profit community group or organisation to auspice the grant. Individuals seeking sponsorships require an auspice to apply.
If the application is successful, the auspice must enter into an agreement with Council and is responsible for managing the grant funds. The auspice is legally accountable for the funds and must make sure the funds are spent as outlined in the agreement with Council. An auspice will be required to meet any reporting requirements and meet all the eligibility conditions of the grant.
If an auspice is required, written evidence of an auspice agreement must be submitted at the time of application.
Please contact Council to discuss your project before you apply
