Cardinia event organisers and not-for-profit groups are encouraged to apply for Cardinia Council’s Festival and Event Grants Program and the Wellbeing and Support Grants Program for 2024-25.
Grants of up to $10,000 are available to not-for-profit groups to help meet some of the running costs of community, arts, agricultural and cultural festivals and events, including art exhibitions, agricultural shows, Australia Day and ANZAC Day services, and festivals and events such as Christmas and Diwali.
Grants ranging from $1000 to $5000 are also available to support community health and wellbeing, volunteering and other community programs, including seeding grants to support the cost of starting a new organisation, group, club, program, project or service; volunteering grants to help create volunteering programs, train volunteers or promote volunteering opportunities; and small change grants to assist with a range of ad hoc costs which cannot be met through other funding sources, such as buying small items of equipment, website redevelopment, Christmas decorations and more.
Applications for both grant programs close at 5pm on Friday 29 March.
