Have you missed out on a City of Cockburn business grant?
Each year the City offers $100,000 in business grants designed to help local business owners and entrepreneurs accelerate their professional growth, grow their enterprises and unlock innovation.
Grants are available in three categories, including personal training and development, digital technology and cybersecurity, and innovation and major projects.
But what do you do if the grant application period has closed for the year? Or if it hasn’t opened yet and you need access to funding to seize a potentially life-changing opportunity?
We’ve got you covered.
The City of Cockburn has teamed up with GrantGuru to create an easy-to-use online portal to help local businesses access funding opportunities from other sources including state and federal governments and corporate and philanthropic interests.
Stop wasting hours googling for grants. Just visit the Cockburn Funding Finder instead.
The portal links you directly to more than $54 billion in funding opportunities, including more than 1,400 grants. It works like a search engine and you can refine your search by industry, sector, project type and location to find the ideal funding opportunities for you. You’ll also find the City of Cockburn’s business grants listed on the platform when they reopen. Ensure you never miss a relevant funding opportunity by setting up real-time business alerts for relevant grants.
The City of Cockburn believes in supporting economic growth, innovation, local job creation and community development. One of the best ways we can do that is by supporting local business owners to find the funding they need.
Economic development grants of up to $5,000 are available twice a year for businesses that meet the eligibility criteria (including having an ABN, operating within the City boundaries and having between one and 199 employees).
In the past, Cockburn’s business grants have funded a range of projects including a bike fitting service, social media marketing training for an online swimwear and jewellery business, and an e-commerce website for a cookie company.
When the City’s grant program isn’t open, the Cockburn Funding Finder is the ideal backup plan. It’s your gateway to funding options beyond the City, providing year-round access to business funding.
