The annual grant program provides funding to not-for-profit groups including sporting clubs, P&Cs, residents and environment groups.
Grant funding can be used for build or renovate community spaces or to purchase large equipment.
"This grant program is a great opportunity for local groups to get funding for important community projects," Ms Washington said.
"I encourage sporting clubs, P&Cs, residents groups, environment groups and others to apply for funding and bring their local ideas to life.
"In 2018 the successful groups included preschools, P&Cs, surf clubs, sporting clubs and rotary clubs. I'm looking forward to seeing more great projects receive the funding they deserve this year.
"I thank the many volunteers who make our community stronger - this funding is an opportunity to support the great work they do."
Applications for the 2019 round of grant funding closes on Friday, September 27.
