Round two: Event Grant application for events held in the second half of 2025 will open on Monday 17 of February 2025.

The Event Grants program provides a transparent and equitable process for local groups and organisations to seek funding and in-kind support from council.

We allocate funds each year to support events in the local community that align with the community vision and the goals in our Council Plan 2021-2025(PDF, 4MB) and other strategic directions.

Funding can be used for a wide variety of event-related cost.

• Venue Hire
• Equipment Hire
• Wash Against Waste Trailer
• Marketing
• Traffic Management

And much more! Please refer to our guidelines below for more details.

Keep an eye on the SmartyGrants website, for round two, applications open on Monday 17 February 2025.

The program aims to provide support to events that:

• foster community, economic and/or cultural development in Mount Alexander Shire
• consider impacts on the environment and surrounding community
• are accessible, inclusive and welcoming of everyone
• are safe and compliant.
