Operational grants
The Operational Grants program supports local performing groups, festivals and events and community wellbeing programs.
Applications for the next funding round of operational grants will be open in 2013.
The Operational Grants program supports local performing groups, festivals and events and community support and wellbeing programs to achieve their long-term goals.
Funding is available to established festivals and events, municipal performing groups and community support organisations.
Any group who wish to apply for funding for a new festival, event or a one-off project should apply for an Annual Grant.
The current funding round for Operational Grants is for the period of 2011-2014.
