Funding and Sponsorship Program


Community Funding Update

The Shire of York is currently reviewing its C8 Funding Policy.

While this review is underway, the Shire will not be proceeding with the September 2026 Community Funding Round and will also not be accepting other funding applications that fall under the C8 Funding Policy.

This is a temporary pause while the funding framework is reviewed. Further information will be provided as the review progresses, including updates on future funding opportunities and relevant dates.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to continue contacting the Shire with any funding enquiries during this period.
