Belfast Event Grant Opens To Applications
A funding package of £200,000 has been launched for the Belfast City Centre Event Grant Scheme with applications encouraged.
The Department for Communities scheme will support arts, cultural and community based events and activities taking place in the city centre between April 2019 and March 2020.
Mark O'Donnell from the Department's Belfast Regeneration Directorate said: "The objective of the Belfast City Centre Event Grant Scheme is to support events that contribute to the regeneration of the Belfast City Centre, encourage local involvement, community and business participation and attract visitors to the area.
"These events play a key role in sustaining life and vitality within the City Centre area. They promote Belfast nationally and internationally showcasing Belfast as a place to visit, shop and socialise.
"The application process for Belfast City Centre Event Grant funding is now open and I would encourage any organisation interested in organising events which will contribute to the revitalisation of Belfast City Centre, to come forward and apply for funding."
In recent years, over 30 events have been funded by the initiative.
Details on how to apply for the grants are available from the Department's Belfast Regeneration Directorate by calling 028 90829296 or emailing BRD@communities-ni.gov.uk.
