Lord Mayor's Community Fund (LMCF)
The Paddington Ward office has a small allocation of funding through the Lord Mayor’s Community Fund. This program is incredibly competitive, given that Ward offices generally receive far more eligible and worthy applications than we can afford to support. Over recent years the LNP-led council has unfortunately cut this spending from $75,000 to just $40,000.
If you'd like to learn more about the Lord Mayor's Community Fund, head to Brisbane City Council's webpage. If you're seeking funding for your community initiative, reach out to my office to discuss eligibility then apply at this link.
Sponsorships and Donations
My office also provides funding in the form of sponsorships and donations to local community groups, where they might not be eligible for the Lord Mayor's Community Fund (such as for fundraising initiatives).
