About this funding
The Southland Regional Events Fund is administered by Great South to support events that contribute to the vibrancy and economic strength of the Murihiku Southland region. The fund focuses on events that drive out-of-region visitation, increase length of stay, and generate measurable economic benefits for local hospitality, accommodation, and retail sectors. Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate strong environmental sustainability practices, community engagement, and alignment with Southland's regional development strategy. Grants help offset core operational costs, marketing, and strategic growth initiatives for established or high-potential events.
