• providing programs and activities for diverse communities in NSW
  
• supporting projects that empower older people to stay connected
  
• assisting organisations to increase capacity of current programs and activities.
  

Applications can be for small scale, multiple and larger activities throughout the NSW Seniors Festival.

There are two funding levels that applicants can apply for:

• Up to $5,000 for local community programs and activities.
  
• $5,001 - $10,000 to local government organisations for large scale community and regional programs and activities – funding is available to local government organisations only.
