Businesses and Groups in Kawartha Lakes need to send in their Special Events Funding Proposals by October 31st. Need Help? Applying for Special Events funding need not be an onerous task. Chances are,if you have run a special event in the past,it may simply be a matter of plugging information into the form, and adding a few tweaks.

Email me now,so we can get these funding applications in as soon as possible.
Funding Guideline Vocabulary Overwhelming? Solutions Proffered
When speaking with a number of individuals about applying for special events funding,we found there were two predominant responses: people were either:
- Totally lost in the legalese of the guidelines ,or
- Overwhelmed by the length of the document.
