APPLICATIONS for the Surf Coast community event grants are now open.<\/p>\n

Event organisers will have the opportunity to apply for extra funding from the Surf Coast Shire under the latest grant round.<\/p>\n

Commercial organisers and not-for-profits holding an event in the Surf Coast Shire can apply, with up to $3,000 available for events held between July 1 and December 24 this year.<\/p>\n

Mayor Liz Pattison said their events calendar ranges from bespoke community gatherings to larger scale events.<\/p>\n

“From the Deans Marsh Community Festival in March to last year’s Kite Festival, our community grants facilitate an array of activities.”<\/p>\n

The events applying for the grant program usually attract local residents and celebrate local communities, bringing together diverse groups.<\/p>\n

“We know funding assistance is welcome, and love supporting an assortment of events that bring significant economic and social benefits,” Cr Pattison said.<\/p>\n

“With today’s cost of living, the grants help the community put on a family and cost-friendly day out. We look forward to seeing the diversity of applications in the upcoming round.”<\/p>\n

In December last year, the Surf Coast Shire revamped the grants program, making changes to some of the criteria.<\/p>\n

As part of the changes there’s now two separate rounds of the community event grant program, with the second opening in October.<\/p>\n

The current round is part of the Surf Coast Shire’s Event Grants and Sponsorship Program, supporting a range of events in the area.<\/p>\n

As part of the program there are four different grants available throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Applications for the Community Event Grants close on April 30, with all applicants required to speak with a council officer before applying.<\/p>\n
