Community Events Fund

Funding allocations will be guided by the priorities set out in the Nelson City Events Strategy to prioritise funding for events that contribute community wellbeing benefits, and the Arts and Heritage Activity Management Plan to prioritise funding towards events that contribute to:

• A rich events calendar providing a diverse range of events for people to enjoy.
• A sense of identity providing opportunities for community groups to celebrate and share their culture.
• Partnership - building the capacity and visibility of the community sector and promoting local creativity.
• Community wellbeing - promotion of the wellbeing and cohesion of the local community.

The Community Events Fund will be open throughout the year for organisations to apply, with funding decisions being made twice each year. In order to ensure that decisions are made in adequate time ahead of the event, please ensure that you apply prior to the round closing dates below.

Please note that late applications are unlikely to be accepted due to the high demand for this fund.

If you have a project you think meets the criteria, please feel to contact us on the below information:
