Community Events Funding
This funding provides financial support for events that celebrate Logan’s diversity and inclusiveness. Events delivered by the community for our community are valued for the experiences and opportunities they provide.
Grants are open for organisations that meet the “community purpose” in Council’s Grants to Community Organisations Policy. This is defined as activities that:
- encourage a vibrant, engaged and resilient community
- build on the strengths in the local community
- value local collaboration and partnerships
- encourage participation in community life and foster social cohesion
- promote and encourage environmental protection and sustainability
- support our city vision of ‘City of Logan, a green city full of pride, opportunity and culture’
- support Council’s Corporate Plan priorities.
