Providing sponsorship for new events taking place in Christchurch.

The Events Seeding Fund is a small fund designed to provide one-off support towards the establishment of a new event concept for the city or to support significant directional changes to existing events.

Apply for events seeding funding

Applications can be received at any time throughout the year until the fund is exhausted, except when the Events and Festivals Sponsorship Fund is open. The criteria and eligibility for this fund are the same as the Events and Festivals Sponsorship Fund and we recommend you also read the Events and Festivals Sponsorship Fund application guidelines(external link) before you apply.

Contact eventsfunding@ccc.govt.nz for more information and guidance.
