Cultural Activity Grants

Upper Hunter Shire Council invites not for profit community organisations in the Shire to apply for a Cultural Activity Grant in 2024/25. Council is committed to promoting and developing cultural activities in the community and encourage people to apply for funding for their next project, resource or event.

The aims of the Cultural Activity Grant program are to;

• Facilitate the provision of cultural activities that increase participation for all residents including but not limited to young people, culturally diverse groups and inclusive activities for people living with a disability,
• Develop connectivity and co-ordination between agencies involved in community cultural development,
• Enhance the use of local cultural/art resources; both physical and organisational, to meet priority needs and progress the Shire’s local identity,
• Develop community organisational skills from a cultural perspective.

Incorporated nonprofit community based organisations within the Upper Hunter Local Government Area are eligible to receive funding grants. Applications close Saturday, 28 September 2024.

To assist in your application, the Cultural Activity Grant Guidelines are enclosed. The application form can be completed online at the following link;https://upperhunter-public.app.oneblink.io/forms/14481
