Georges River Council's Grants, Donations and Sponsorship programs support initiatives and projects that build the social, cultural, environmental and economic life of the Georges River area. Through these programs, Council partners with the community and businesses to further the actions, strategic directions and vision of Council's Community Strategic Plan.

Council's Grants, Donations and Sponsorship Policy provides a framework for grants, donations and sponsorship requests made to Council. The Policy guides the application process, allocation and evaluation of funding to address community needs under Section 356 of the Local Government Act 1993.
