The City of Prince George is now accepting grant applications from local non-profits for new or enhanced events.
The Celebrate PG Grant allocations are between $5,000 – $10,000, and are only accepted once per year in mid-December.
Emerging events are eligible for the lower funding totals, while signature events that have run 3 or more years and have a $100,000 or more total budget can receive the full $10,000.

- Costs associated with enhancing visitor experiences.
- i.e., presenting a big-name entertainer or activity that would not have been feasible without the funding.
- Extending a one-day festival to two-day festival (preference will be given to multi-day events).

- Organizational operating or capital costs.
- Administration fees, event coordination and staffing costs.
- Budget overrun.
