LISMORE MP Janelle Saffin is encouraging eligible councils and community organisations to apply for events funding under the Minns Labor Government’s 2027 NSW Seniors Festival Grant Program.
Ms Saffin said grants of between $2,000 and $10,000 were available for hosting festival events which celebrated the contributions of seniors and helped them build stronger community connections.
Ms Saffin welcomed Minister for Seniors Jodie Harrison’s announcement that
‘Discover, Connect, Celebrate’ will be the theme for the next year’s festival, set to run from 1 March to 14 March 2027.
Applications for the Seniors Festival Grants, which have a total funding pool of $200,000, close on Wednesday, 12 August 2026.
