The Municipality of Chatham-Kent is accepting applications from local groups seeking funding for community events to be held in 2023.
Applications can be submitted for the Together CK: Events Grant Program, which in past years was called the Community Partnership Fund: Festival & Events.
Council allocates funds each year through a competitive process in keeping with their commitment to encourage community development through partnerships with local groups.
Groups are invited to apply for funding of up to 50 per cent of an event’s cost to a maximum of $5,000. Significant events (with attendance more than 25,000) can qualify for up to 50 per cent of expenses for the first $10,000 of the budget and 25 per cent of the balance of the budget to a maximum of $25,000.
Information sessions are scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 12 noon and Wednesday, Oct. 5 at 6 pm To attend one of the sessions, email [email protected] to receive call-in instructions.
