Small grant funding available for community projects

02nd Jun 2026

Applications are invited for the next round of Armidale Regional Council’s Community and Village Grants,which opened on Monday June 1st.
Funding is available for community projects across the region, with targeted funding also on offer for village-based initiatives.
The grants are designed to provide financial support for projects and activities that require modest funding to meet local needs and strengthen the community.
Local not-for-profit organisations and community groups are eligible to apply for:
• Community Small Grants
- up to $2,000
• Community Support Grants
- $2,000 to $5,000
• Armidale Regional Village
Grants – up to $3,500
Community grants are offered regularly to support projects that enhance community and recreational opportunities, celebrate culture and creativity, promote environmental sustainability, and support local business initiatives.
Mayor Sam Coupland encouraged local organisations to take advantage of the opportunity.
“Every project we support through the grants program is a step towards a stronger region,” Mayor Coupland said.
“Each funding round enables many wonderful initiatives to be delivered. A small grant can be the leg-up an amazing project needs to get off the ground. I am excited for what may emerge from this next funding round!”
The Armidale Regional Village Grants provide a straightforward pathway for Local Advisory Committees (LACs) and community groups connected to villages to access funding.
“We’re keen to ensure our region’s villages are finding and securing funding support,” said Mayor Coupland.
This grant round opened on Monday 1 June 2026 and closes on Monday 13 July 2026.
