Please be sure to include a description of what the event is as well as a map of the route/location/setup of the event. Failure to include a description and/or map will slow processing of the application. A non-refundable $34.00 permit processing fee is due at the time the application is submitted.

Community Events Fund Application Process
The City of Ann Arbor wishes to support activities that promote or bring the community together in its richness. When the Community Events Fund was established, the purpose was to allow non-profit organizations to apply for funds to help defray the costs of community events that are open to the public.
Typically, these funds pay for city fees related to barricade placement, police services, electricity turn on/off fees, trash receptacles, permit fees, or city facility rental. In other instances, the funds may provide for supplies for children’s free activities or workshops. Applicants are encouraged to list environmentally friendly and sustainability focused event activities on their application. These funds do not cover costs associated with advertising, wages, insurance premiums, printing, mailing costs, entertainment, or private events.
Community Events Fund applications must be received in the City Administrator's Office by 5 p.m. on Friday, June 2, 2023. Late applications are not accepted. The event date must fall within the fiscal year dates of July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024.
If you have any questions, please contact Sara Higgins in the City Administrator’s Office at 734.794.6110 or by email at [email protected].
