What you need to know to apply

You can apply for major community events grants to fund a project in its entirety or for a portion of the project.

Preference will be given to applications that include co-contributions that meet the priorities.

Your application is encouraged to consider ways to develop sustainable funding options which can supplement grant funding

If you wish to fund an event over multiple years you must ensure:

  • the years applied for must be consecutive
  • annual funding payments will be dependent on reporting being up to date.

Eligible organisations can apply for amounts up to $15,001 and $250,000 per year for up to three years.
