THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., January 29, 2024 - The City of Thousand Oaks is accepting applications for the 2024-25 Community Events Grant Program.

The Community Events Grant (CEG) provides grant opportunities to local nonprofit organizations for community visual or performing arts and/or cultural programs/projects/events. All programs/projects/events must take place within the City boundaries, except for local school competition performances while representing the City of Thousand Oaks. 

Some of the projects funded through this grant program include school band competitions, open-space trail education events, ballets at the Bank of America Performing Arts Center, performances at other locations through the community, or similar visual or performing art or cultural program/project/event.

All CEG programs/projects/events must take place and be completed between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025. The current grant award limits require a minimum of $500 and a maximum of $9,000. This grant requires 100% matching funds. If the grant is for a team competition, it cannot be for more than $100 per team member.
