Community Events Grants

Listen

The Community Events Grant Program aims to support moderate-sized events, which bring economic benefits to the City, enrich the community, celebrate common interests and provide opportunities for local participation.

Applications for the February round will be accepted between 1 February to 2 March 2020.

The program offers up to $20,000 for events in 2020 and multi-year funding is an option..

For the purposes of this funding program, a community event is defined as:
A temporary organised activity, open to the general public, where people gather with a common purpose that aims to enhance community life. The activity is held in open spaces, facilities or venues where there will be more people or a different use of the asset, than usually found at that location.

If your event does not fit within the above definition, please refer to the guidelines relating to some of our other grant programs. The following is a list of other funding options that specifically target events that relate to:

Arts activities and the cultural life of the community - Refer to Creative Communities Grants
Achieving the goals and outcomes of Council's strategic objectives relating to environment and sustainability - Refer to the Environment and Sustainability Grants
Celebrating or marking a specific milestone or significant anniversary - Refer to the Healthy and Connected Communities Grants
