About the Community Events Grant Program - NOW CLOSED

Alexandrina Council’s Community Events Grant program provides in-kind and financial support for event organisers to deliver community events across the Alexandrina community. Council recognises that community events, celebrations and gatherings create meaningful opportunities for social and cultural interaction and encourage community connection.

What type of activities will be funded?

Council is seeking to fund community-led events that contribute towards creating a Liveable, Green and Connected Alexandrina and support our communities to thrive by bringing generations and communities together and attracting visitors to the region.

Eligible expenditure items may include:

• Equipment or venue hire
• The purchase of materials and supplies
• Marketing and promotional costs
• Contractor payments for the delivery of event related services.

Please note: Grant funding requested from applications already received during August and September 2023 exceeds the amount of funding available. If all applications received are recommended for funding, the available funding allocation for this grant program will be exhausted.  Hence, applications are no longer being accepted for this program. Please contact Council's Grants Officer to discuss funding options.
