Kawerau District Council’s Event Marketing Fund (New Zeland)
Section
The Kawerau District Council is offering an inviting opportunity through its Event Marketing Fund, tailored for those eager to launch new events within the Kawerau district.
Designed to spark creative local events, this fund offers financial assistance to help applicants bring fresh, community-boosting ideas to life.
Individuals or organisations can apply to receive up to $1,000 in the first year to support marketing efforts for a new event. If the event returns in a second year, there’s a possibility of receiving up to $500 more, encouraging organisers to build traditions that can benefit the community over time.
When you apply, the Council asks for a clear picture of your event and how the requested funds will be used. It’s important to explain how the event will benefit Kawerau and offer insight into your broader funding strategy. While the Council will keep all proposals confidential, they will want to see the planned gains for the local economy and community.
Once your event and its marketing phase are complete, you're expected to share a report detailing outcomes, financials, and insights on what worked well—or what didn’t. This accountability helps the Council understand how their support played a role in your event’s success and shapes future funding decisions.
This initiative offers a straightforward yet meaningful way for creatives and community leaders to trial new events and strengthen local engagement. With accessible support and a path toward sustainability, the Event Marketing Fund helps turn ideas into experiences that enrich the Kawerau district.
