School P&Cs, sports clubs and other groups have until May 14 to apply for state government 2021 Community Building Partnership grants.
The program aims to "invest in infrastructure projects that deliver positive social, environmental, and recreational outcomes while promoting community participation, inclusion and cohesion".
Since 2009, the Community Building Partnership (CBP) program has awarded more than $362 million to over 16,600 projects.
In 2021, there is a maximum of $300,000 to allocate in each electorate. Incorporated not-for-profit community organisations and local councils are eligible to apply for grants of between $5000 and $150,000. The average grant awarded is around $20,000.
The government says projects with contributions from applicants' own, or other sources, "will be considered favourably".
"Local councils, including their section 355 committees, are required to provide matched funding to the CBP grants," a statement said.
"As total funding will be divided equally among the state electorates of NSW, applications will be assessed against other proposed projects within the same electorate."
