These are testing times and more and more people in our community are going to need help. Not just now, but for quite some time.
As well as small business, cultural sector and creative fellowship grants, we’re offering funds to individuals and not-for-profits servicing vulnerable people in our communities.
If you work in this area, or know people who do, please spread the word about these grants.
Our dedicated team is ready to help you. Call us on 9265 9333, Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 4pm or email CityConcierge@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au.
