NSW Regional Flagship EVENT Funding tips

Improve your chances of securing NSW Regional Flagship Event funding by following these simple tips.

Choose your funding pool carefully

Ensure you have read and understand the eligibility for each of the three funds within the Regional Flagship Events Program Fund. 

Make yourself familiar with the selection criteria

For example, it is vital that you demonstrate clear strategies for measuring and evaluating visitation and the visitor experience.

Develop a marketing plan

Ensure your marketing plan clearly identifies your target market, the strategies you will use to reach them and measurable objectives (if this sounds like too much, we can help!). Remember, grant monies MUST be spent on marketing initiatives that encourage overnight visitation from outside your region
