Once per year, individuals and groups wishing to undertake heritage projects within Murray River Council are invited to apply for financial assistance under Council’s Local Heritage Fund Program.

Generally, grants are given for amounts between $1,000 and $5,000.
Who can apply?
All owners or managers of eligible heritage projects (refer to list in the guidelines) that are in the Murray River Council Local Government Area.
Please note state government agencies cannot apply for funding but may be involved as a project partner.

Each year the NSW Government provides Youth Week funding to local councils to run an event, activity or project to be held during National Youth Week (usually held in April).
On the years when council doesn’t host an event, we call for suitable local youth services or community organisations to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for funding to host their very own event or activity! We look for projects that provide an opportunity for young people to express their ideas, or to create and enjoy entertainment.
Keep an eye out locally for your chance to apply for Youth Week funding. Or if you want more info, get in touch with our Youth Engagement Officer: YEP@murrayriver.nsw.gov.au
