Strengthening Community Service Delivery

Strengthening Community Service Delivery grants have been developed to add value to the various not-for-profit community services available to the Western Australian Community. They recognise the critical role played by community services in helping to improve the quality of life for our citizens.

Priority for these grants is given to:

• Organisations that provide support to disadvantaged people or groups
• Proposals that will provide a broad community benefit

Lotterywest may support the broad-based community welfare services of a religious organisation or church.

We do not generally support grants to groups for purposes that promote a particular religious or secular philosophy or values system. Our support to such groups focuses on community welfare and service activities provided to the community.

To be considered for a grant the service must:

• Be promoted to, and accessible by, the wider community and have broad community support (indicated by external referees)
• Be appropriately structured, supported, funded and staffed and
• Be clearly distinguished from the Ministry and religious work of the organisation or church
