The event was successful in gaining a $20,000 grant from the NSW 2019 Incubator Event Fund which assists rural and regional events in their first or second year. MP Paul Toole said that events like LithGlow are a great and innovative way to help build the local economy. "Whether it's food and wine events or music and sporting festivals, we know that events like LithGlow play an important role in driving additional overnight visitation to the Lithgow region and this helps to create more jobs".
