Cultural Activity Grants
Upper Hunter Shire Council offers Cultural Activity Grants to not-for-profit organisations to enhance cultural development, inclusivity, and local identity within the community.
The aims of the Cultural Activity Grant program are to;
- facilitate the provision of cultural activities that increase participation for all residents including but not limited to young people, culturally diverse groups and inclusive activities for people living with a disability,
- develop connectivity and co-ordination between agencies involved in community cultural development,
- enhance the use of local cultural/art resources; both physical and organisational, to meet priority needs and progress the Shire’s local identity,
- develop community organisational skills from a cultural perspective.
Incorporated nonprofit community based organisations within the Upper Hunter Local Government Area are eligible to receive funding grants. Applications close 30 September 2023.
