Councillor Discretionary Funding

Grant Description

The Councillor Discretionary Funding Program provides Sunshine Coast councillors with an annual allocation to support not-for-profit community organisations for community purposes that align with Council’s Community Grants policy and Corporate Plan. Applications may be local (submitted to the relevant divisional Councillor/s) or of broader regional benefit (submitted to the Mayor). While no maximum per application is specified, funding is constrained by each councillor’s available allocation—$25,140 in 2025/26—and the total annual pool of $276,540, with applications accepted all year subject to funding availability.
