Request for Funding

Council receives many requests for funding assistance from individuals and groups.

Funding can be applied for as part of Community Grants, Events Support Program, Environmental Grants, and the Heritage Incentive Scheme. View the relevant page on Council's website for further information.

Ward Donations

Ward donations are another avenue for small amounts of funding. At each Council Meeting, Council Members may nominate individuals or groups to receive a donation from their annual ward donation allowance. These donations are reflected in the Council meeting agendas and minutes, available on Council's website.

Please send ward donation requests direct to Council council@mountbarker.sa.gov.au, including details of what or who the funds are being sought for.

In the case of those seeking donations for sporting endeavours the following details should be provided:

• details of the sport/s being undertaken;
• the level of participation (club, state, interstate, international);
• the length of time the student has participated in the sport;
• the level of commitment to training/preparation for competition;
• other supporting information including confirmation of State selection from the relevant body
• the submission should contain the name, location, duration and timing of the particular competition for which the donation is being sought; and
• the reason for the funding (such as assistance with travel expenses, uniforms etc.)

An acknowledgement of the request will be sent to the applicant and forwarded to Council Members for their consideration. Should the request be successful applicants will be advised and funds forwarded within 1 month of the Council meeting at which the donation is made.
