We think Kensington is the best place to live and we hope you do too. Two Care for Kensington (CfK) community grants are available to be spent during 2024 on any project that benefits our fabulous suburb! Think environmental, cultural, artistic, social, even virtual…
Previous winners include Jerry and Sarah O’Connell (2021 adult grant) with their Rock of the Fairy project in Bridge Street, Kensington, and Sarah and Ethan (2023 children grant) with their Jump for Joy project in Regent Garden, Kensington, adjacent to McKellar Stewart kindy (pictured below with KRA Secretary/Photographer Andrew Dyson).
Grants offered
Adults (18 and over): a grant of up to $750 is available.
Children (under 18): a grant of up to $250 is available.

Projects with a clear benefit to our community (not just benefitting a few individuals) will be viewed favourably.
