Community Grants have provided financial assistance to community groups and not-for-profit organisations since 2018.
It’s the fifth year of the Shire’s Community Grants Program, and for the first time, the Shire of Exmouth has made four funding streams available at once.
The purpose of the Community Grants Program is to provide financial assistance to our incorporated community & sporting groups to help build capacity within the community.

The Shire of Exmouth Community Grants are designed to deliver sustainable, accessible and demonstrated social, environmental and economic benefits, stimulate volunteering in the community, and foster youth development.
The Shire of Exmouth requested that all applications be submitted by 11 November 2022 to ensure they could be assessed simultaneously, and the funds can be used to assist in preparations for the Ningaloo Eclipse.
