Community Development Fund (CDF) Grants Program

Each year Council provides funding for the allocation of once-off project grants and annual event grants to not-for-profit community groups. The CDF is underpinned by the following principles:

funded projects/activities will provide benefit to the Knox community and help meet Council’s objectives;
cooperation and collaboration between groups will be encouraged;
grants processes will be consistent, equitable and transparent; and
grants processes will support and strengthen community groups in developing local solutions to local needs.

Applications submitted to the CDF should address emerging local issues or support the implementation of the Knox Council Plan 2009-2013 which reflects identified community needs and aspirations.

Category 1 - up to and including $2,000
