Grants and Sponsorships
We provide a number of funding opportunities to support initiatives that contribute to the social, cultural, environmental, and economic life of the city.
Some of our grants and sponsorship opportunities have been updated to make it simpler to apply, and fairer to everyone in the community. They also align with our plan for the future, Newcastle 2040 Community Strategic Plan.
Our annual Grants and Sponsorship program is currently scheduled to open early June 2025 for application.
Sign up to our Grants and Sponsorship Mailing List to be the first to know about funding opportunities. (Check your junk mail in case it arrives there, and if it does, make sure you mark it as a safe sender).
