Community Events Grants

Grant Description

The Community Events Grants 2025-26 provide up to $10,000 per event (from a total pool of $200,000) to support moderately sized public gatherings—such as festivals, agricultural shows, music and sporting events, and Christmas activations—open to 300 or more attendees. Designed to enrich the Greater Geelong community, these grants foster a diverse, inclusive calendar of events, generate economic benefits for local businesses and key industries, and strengthen the region’s long-term event sustainability.
