Applications for Swan Hill Rural City Council’s Event Support Fund are now open.
Event organisers can apply for up to $500 for community events, minor events up to $2,000 and large events up to $5,000.
Swan Hill Rural City Council Director Development and Planning, Heather Green said Council hoped the fund would assist in improving the region’s livability, attracting visitors and dollars into the municipality.
“Council recognises the benefits of events to our community and municipality, including tourism and the local economy through the Event Support Fund.
“We provides assistance to new and existing local events that are of social and economic benefits to our region.
This funding program has the potential to make a huge difference to non-profit groups, our local communities and have a significant impact on our local economy.”
Ms Green said that last year, over 40 community groups and event organisers received funding from Council’s Community Grants Program for building updates, new equipment, events and volunteer support.
“I encourage community groups to consider applying this year,” Ms Green said.
