One of the key purposes of the Thorpdale Potato Festival is provide financial support to local community organisations and projects.
At the conclusion of each festival, profits are calculated and distributed amongst local organisations using a merit-based grant application process. In 2023, $76,000 was injected back into the community!
After each Festival, we open our grant application process. Stay tuned for an update, or contact us to learn more.
