Nanaimo Hospitality Grant
Festivals and events are good for Nanaimo. They bring new money and new interest into the area and contribute to the growth of the entire region. We want to help. We have a grant that you can apply for to support your event. You can download all the documents you need to apply for funding below.
Grant Application Tips
To make sure your grant application can be properly evaluated, here are a few “How to Tips” to get you started.
- Read all grants categories carefully to make sure you’re applying for the appropriate grant.
- Read ALL eligibility requirements carefully before submitting your request.
- Remember that a large part of the Nanaimo Hospitality Association’s focus is to increase the number of nights visitors stay in Nanaimo, so make sure your event gives people a reason to stay over for at least one night.
- In your application, be sure you give us a brief summary of your proposal and tell us how your event will bring people from out of the area to Nanaimo.
- Ensure you understand the difference between Participants and Spectators as grant applicants often mix these up and project incorrect numbers in their applications. These definitions can be found in the Question Preview document, and in the grant application.
