Our Community Grants Program

Our Grants Program supports local initiatives that create real, lasting impact. We back projects with strong local leadership, sound governance, genuine community need, and clear outcomes, especially those that collaborate to achieve more together.

Every Donation Makes a Difference

The Southern Tablelands Community Foundation (STCF) raises funds through local events and community donations, building a strong base of support for our region. Every dollar raised is invested in perpetuity, creating an enduring source of funding that continues to give back to our communities year after year.

So many needs within our community often go unseen, and we are dedicated to making a meaningful difference wherever we can. Through our grants program and initiatives, we stand alongside individuals and organisations who bring care, hope, and support to those in our community who need it most.
