Playford Alive Initiatives Fund

The Playford Alive Initiatives Fund supports a range of innovative projects and initiatives which protect and enhance the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of the community.

Are you working on a project that could uplift your local Playford Alive area? Grants are now open to support initiatives that enhance the social, economic, and environmental wellbeing of the local Playford Alive project area (Smithfield Plains, Davoren Park, Munno Para, Andrews Farm and Eyre). Whether you are part of a community group, local business, or a not-for-profit organisation, we encourage you to apply and bring your ideas to life.

Since 2009, and with the support of partners - Renewal SA, The City of Playford and SA Housing Trust - the Playford Alive Initiatives Fund has distributed more than $850,000 to community-benefiting projects.

The Playford Initiatives Fund this year has allocated $50,000 in grant funding, some of which is distributed through an annual call.

The maximum amount allocated for an individual grant this year has increased from $5,000 up to $10,000.

The annual grant round 18 opens on 1 September 2025 and closes on 14 October 2025.

Note - Grants for under $2,500 are open all year round.

In 2024, grants were awarded to community groups as diverse as the Women's Safety Services SA, Community Matters Playford Inc and the Playford Uniting Church, find out more here.
