Community Grants
Hurstville City Council provides funding to not-for profit groups for the development of community initiatives and services through a number of programs:
Hurstville City Council Community Grants Program
Hurstville City Council Community Grants Program is managed by Council and funded through an annual budget allocation. The program provides funding to not-for-profit community groups and organisations to support the development of community services and programs for Hurstville City residents.
Grants are available to not-for-profit groups and organisations that meet Council's policy guidelines, funding criteria and annual priorities, as set out in the 2009-2010 Community Grants Policy Guidelines.
Applications for 2009-10 grants closed on 31 August 2009.

Community Development and Support Expenditure Scheme (CDSE)
Council is convenor of the Local Committee for the Community Development and Support Expenditure (CDSE) Scheme, which provides grants to not-for-profit community groups, which are funded by local gaming machine profits.
Council accepts applicatons for the CDSE grants, but does not contribute financially to this pool of funds. The eligible registered clubs in Hurstville City that donate the funds make the final decision on the allocation of their contributions, after considering the recommendations of the Local Committee.
The 2009 program has now been finalised. Information on the 2010 program will be available here in February-March 2010.
