Welcome to our community support and fundraising program
Now in its 15th year, the program provides support to our local and greater community by providing opportunity, support and prizes.
Sunshine Coast Council and the Caloundra Music Festival have assisted many community organisations to raise much needed funds as well as providing disadvantaged families with memories that will last a lifetime.
Not-for-profits; community groups / charities, schools and local sporting clubs are invited to apply for the provision of tickets to the 2022 Caloundra Music Festival for fundraising purposes or special experiences.
We recognise the amazing contribution all our community organisations provide, unfortunately we are unable to provide support to all requests received.
