Community Events Quick Response Grants | City of Greater Geelong

Community Events Quick Response Grants

A limited amount of funding annually is available for a Quick Response Grant when there is a compelling justification to do so.

Grants of up to $10 000 are available to support moderate sized events within the City of Greater Geelong municipality which:

bring economic benefits to the City

will strengthen and enrich community

celebrate common interests

showcase local competitive advantages and

provide opportunities for local participation.

Quick Response grants are open to eligible applicants for events:

secured by a bidding process and a due date or timeline that doesn’t align with the Community Events Grants dates
that require a commitment of funding outside of the Community Events Grants announcement dates for example the event is to be staged within six months of application
that require funding at short notice for example an event in response to an unexpected community issue or a municipal disaster
that seek an urgent commitment of funding to support a funding application timeline of other levels of government
that could be secured for Geelong but were unknown at the time of the previous Community Events Grants application period.

Please read the grant guidelines before applying.

Applications are currently closed.

Please contact Amanda Reid on 03 5272 4139 to discuss your eligibility.

Outcomes of applications will be announced within four to six weeks following submission of applications.

There is a total grant pool of $180,000 for both Community Events and Quick Response Grants.
