PROVISION OF FINANCIAL AND/OR IN-KIND SUPPORT TO HOST EVENTS IN DRAKENSTEIN:

TO BE HELD DURING THE 2023/2024 FINANCIAL YEAR BETWEEN 1 JULY 2023 AND 30 JUNE 2024.

1) Objectives


Eligible organisations, which include NGOs’, NPOs’, CBOs’, Section 21 Companies and other relevant institutions are invited to apply for financial and/or in-kind support to host events in the municipal area that will achieve the following objectives:
