Deadline: 30-Nov-21
The City of Logan is seeking applications for Community Events Grants Program to support events that promote and celebrate all the things they love about their city.
Events delivered by the community, are a vital part of their city. They value these events, experiences and opportunities they provide to the community. They also know community groups often need support to make these events a reality. That’s why the Community Events Funding Program exists.
Each year, they provide financial and in-kind support for a wide range of events. This allows them to assist community organisations to host events that celebrate the community’s diversity, energy, and creativity.
Funding Information
There are two funding options available through the Community Events Funding Program:
- Small Event Grant: $200 – $2,000
- This grant is for small events, normally with less than 1,000 people expected. These small community events tend to be aimed at a particular group in the community.
- Event Sponsorship: $2,001 – $20,000
- Event sponsorship is available for large events, normally with over 1,000 people expected to attend and which have a broad community appeal.
What they can Fund?
This includes:
- Events that will be conducted within the boundaries of Logan City and benefit members of the Logan community (i.e. not only to the benefit of an individual); OR

- Please provide detailed information in your application describing the benefit to the Logan community, identifying the groups that will benefit and how. This should be included in the Event Description.
- With events that will be held outside of the boundaries of Logan City, while there may be benefit to members of the Logan community, preference is given to events that are delivered within the boundaries of Logan City.
