Commercial Events Fund - Opening Soon
Round 2 of Council’s 2023/2024 Commercial Events Fund opens next Monday 12 February.
This Fund was established to help create economic benefit to Marlborough by attracting new events and helping to build on existing ones. Council’s Commercial Events Fund sub-committee considers the applications and there is up to $100,000 available for allocation for 2023/2024.
To be eligible, commercial events must be held within the Marlborough District Council boundaries. Community events, conferences, conventions, trade shows and exhibitions are not eligible. Funding is granted on an annual basis but it does not mean that all funds must be distributed each year. Past applicants who have been unsuccessful may re-apply.
Key dates:
- Applications close: 5pm Monday 11 March 2024
- Funding decision by: 5pm Friday 5 April 2024
Applications must be completed via Council’s website:
