The Town’s Community Grant Program supports community projects, programs, and events that align with the Town’s Strategic objectives with funding of up to $2,000.
Applications will remain open until the predetermined funding pool is exhausted.

Community Insurance
The current round for the Community Insurance Program is now closed as the funding allocation has been exhausted.
If you'd like to receive future updates and be added to the waitlist, feel free to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI).
Insurance may be provided to eligible community groups (excluding sporting clubs) under the Town's Community Insurance Program. Whilst insurance is primarily for established community groups located in the Town, consideration will also be given to community groups based outside of the Town that significantly contribute to the Town of Bassendean community and proposed community groups unable to deliver community-facing initiatives due to the costs of insurance.
Other eligibility requirements include:
- Must have an annual turnover of less than $100,000
- Must not be registered sole traders or businesses
- Must not be able to access insurance through an affiliate association or state/national body
New groups are considered when the policy is renewed each year. Please register your interest to be considered.
