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 2024 Grants and Sponsorship Program is open for application and closes Sunday 30 June (11:59pm). Click here to apply.
