The NSW State Government has opened up two new event funding grants - one aimed at seniors and the other at the state's youth.

The $200,000 NSW Seniors Festival Grants Program will offer grants of up to $10,000 to help organisations host engaging activities for people aged 60 and over, with the goal of helping them stay active and connected within their communities. Closes 28 August 2023.

Additionally, the state government's Holiday Break Program allows regional councils and eligible not-for-profit organisations to apply for funding to deliver events and activities for young people during the upcoming spring school holidays. Closes 13 August 2023.
