All partner programs

For councils and community-services teams

Better tools for the clubs you fund.

Most councils support hundreds of small community organisations — sports clubs, social groups, arts collectives, service clubs. The Local Government Partner program is for community-services teams that want better admin tools in the hands of those groups, without writing the software themselves or running another procurement.

Who this is for

Local Government Partners

Local councils, regional community services teams, grants and community-development units.

Councils and local government authorities who fund or support community groups, sports clubs, and volunteer organisations across their region.

What you get

  • Subsidised TidyHQ for community groups in your LGA
  • Reporting on club health across the orgs you fund
  • A direct line for community-services staff

Common questions

Before you apply.

The questions local government partners ask us on the first call.

You don’t need to. Council partnerships work as a sponsored access arrangement: we provide TidyHQ at partner rates (or free for an agreed term) to community organisations in your area, and you communicate the offer through your existing community-services channels. No software procurement on your end.

Yes — with the consent of the clubs themselves. TidyConnect, our federation portal, gives council community-services teams a single view across affiliated organisations: member counts, event activity, financial health, compliance status. Clubs opt in; you don’t see anything you’re not entitled to.

Most local government partnerships are structured around a small annual commitment that funds the access for community groups in the LGA. Smaller than a single grant; larger than zero. We agree the number on the partnership call based on your community size.
