NSW Seniors Festival Grants Program

The Grants Program provides $200,000 in seed funding to organisations and councils to run local festival programs and activities that provide opportunities for people over 60 to remain active, healthy, engaged and contributing to their local communities.

What is the grants program?

The grants program is a key part of the 2024 NSW Seniors Festival. The festival will run from Monday, 11 March – Sunday 24 March 2024.

The NSW Seniors Festival Grant program encourages Seniors in NSW to enjoy new experiences, continue learning, stay active and connect to their communities.
Applications can be for small scale, multiple and larger activities throughout the NSW Seniors Festival.

There are 2 funding levels that applicants can apply for:

  • Up to $5,000 for local community programs and activities
  • $5,001 - $10,000 to local government organisations for large scale community and regional programs and activities – funding is available to local government organisations only.

In 2023 the NSW Seniors Festival had 3 funding categories. In 2024 there will be 2 categories to allow smaller organisations access to more funding. This means more opportunities for seniors to get active and connect in their local communities
