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 next funding round opens on 12 March 2025 and closes on 11 April 2025.
