What you need to know about support on offer, timing, eligibility and process

We have a number of grants to support initiatives and projects that build the social, cultural, environmental and economic life of our city.

These guidelines explain the grant options available, when they are open and who can apply.

  • Our grants provide cash or value-in-kind support such as fee waivers for our venues or street banner hire.
  • Our grants open once a year in July, with some open year-round until the budget is exhausted.
  • Our programs are highly competitive, and we have resources available to help you with your application.
