Port Macquarie Bodyboarding Association President, Dan Little, tells how their ESP grant helped them to boost the event's professionalism, launch their website, and be a COVID-safe event!

Applications for  PMHC ESP grants (Event Sponsorship Program Grants) are open for events taking place in the second half of 2021 

PMHC Event Sponsorship Program Grants:

Applications for the Council’s Event Sponsorship Program are open until Friday 19th February for events due to be held in the second half of 2021.

It’s been a difficult period for the events industry and these grants will provide a financial boost to event organisers. We’re conscious of the ever changing event restrictions and it’s great to see many events adapting to a COVID safe format.

About the PMHC Program:

Are you planning a major event in our region?

The PMHC Event Sponsorship Program aims to support event organisers to develop, promote, execute and sustain locally grown long-term major events.

Major events are an important and growing part of our local economy, and add to the vibrancy of our region.

Council's Event Sponsorship Program has been set up to provide grant funding of a maximum of $5,000 for events that attract (or have the potential to attract) a significant number of visitors to our region and/or destination exposure and a notable digital reach.

Some of the past events that have received funding under this program include the Port Macquarie Running Festival, Wauchope Twilight Tastings, Elephant Trail Race and Slice of Haven.

The round is open until the 19th of February.
