Regional Events Acceleration Fund

Applications for the Regional Events Acceleration Fund now open

The NSW Government’s $20 million Regional Events Acceleration Fund is now open for applications.

The Regional Events Acceleration Fund helps organisations to bring new events to their region and make existing events even bigger and better. The types of events eligible for funding include:

  • major sporting and lifestyle events
  • major food and beverage events
  • major music, art and culture festivals.

Events hosted between March 2021 and June 2022 can apply for two streams of funding:

  • Stream One supports existing regional events by funding operational improvements and infrastructure needed to boost event attendance and improve visitor experience. Applications can request funding support between $50,000 and $200,000.
  • Stream Two supports the attraction of major international and domestic events to regional locations, with a particular focus on major sporting events that provide national or international exposure. Applications for Stream Two can request funding at a minimum of $100,000.

The Fund will help stimulate regional economies, supporting recovery from the effects of drought, bushfires, floods and COVID-19. For more information about the Regional Events Acceleration Fund, eligibility, the assessment process and the Program Guidelines go to www.nsw.gov.au/reafund
