Let’s reconnect and celebrate!

Time is running out for Event Sponsorship funding round applications!

Do you have an event which will help the Tweed community reconnect and celebrate after some tough times?

Event organisers are encouraged to consider applying for Tweed Shire Council’s 2022-2023 Events Sponsorship funding round to stage an event and give people the opportunity to re-connect and celebrate.

Council has previously supported a range of events including sport, food, music and the arts.

Supporting a range of events

The 2022-2023 Events Sponsorship funding round is now open and will close at midnight on Friday 8 July 2022.

Council’s Events Officer Kerrie McConnell said the sponsorship round gives people the opportunity to revisit the idea of a live event.

“With gatherings few and far between over the last couple of years, it is time for us to start to re-connect safely with our community through events,” Ms McConnell said.

Applications must be from an incorporated body or an event which has a sponsor that will accept legal and financial responsibility for the event.

Before completing the application form, please ensure you read the Events Sponsorship Policy on Council’s website and register on SmartyGrants to view the Events Sponsorship Guidelines, as they outline the core eligibility criteria and conditions of funding.

Council will consider eligible applications at its meeting in August. Full or partial or no funding may be recommended by Council and all applicants will be advised of the outcome of their application.

For further information and to apply, visit the Council website for information on Event funding and sponsorship or call Council’s Events Officer, Kerrie McConnell on 02 6670 2735.
