Applications are now open for the Small Events, Large Events and Community Arts Grants funding programs.
Events grants are available for up to $5000 and aims to support and strengthen the community with the capacity to attract visitors from outside Shepparton and provide regional tourism benefits.
The Community Arts grants of up to $2500 will support the development and implementation of community arts activities and projects as part of Council’s commitment to participation in the arts.
Council’s Manager Arts, Events and Tourism Carrie Donaldson said the grants had a number of benefits for both community organisations and the wider community.
“Hosting events in our community means we see economic benefit through tourism and visitation to the region, as well as building our regional profile and building capacity within community groups,” Ms Donaldson said.
“We are currently accepting grant applications for the first round of funding and I encourage any groups out there to get in touch with us and discuss their ideas before lodging an application.
“We have recently launched a new online application system through Smarty Grants, which will make it easier for groups to lodge their applications.”
Applications for the first round for the Community Arts Grants close at 5pm on 31 July 2014.
Applications for the first round for the Small and Large Events Grants close at 5pm on 31 August 2014.
