Annual Donations Program - 2024-25

Each year, Council provides an opportunity for charities, non-profit organisations and community groups within the Tamworth region to seek a contribution from Council to assist in the provision of their services to our community. This is known as the Annual Donations Program.

The Annual Donations Program objectives are to:

• support charities and community projects, events and activities which occur within the Tamworth Regional Council local government area, and are of benefit to the local community;
• foster or support new services, initiatives and resources which address the needs of the Tamworth regional community;
• improve awareness and use of community services and resources within the Tamworth Regional Council area; and
• encourage increased participation in local community activities within the Tamworth Regional Council area.

Applications are invited from not-for-profit organisations, charities, community groups and organisations located within the Tamworth Regional Council local government area, that provide a service to the Tamworth regional community which may be of a unique nature. Recipients of donation funding in previous years are welcome to reapply.

Organisations are eligible to apply for only one (1) donation per financial year, which is 1 July to 30 June.

Donations will not be made to individuals or organisations which operate on a for-profit (commercial) basis, or to branches of charities which fundraise for projects and activities outside Council’s area of jurisdiction.
