Deadline: 24 May 2019
Applicants are invited to apply for 2019 Australia & New Zealand Burner Leadership Summit (ANZLS) Civic Ignition Grant.
A program aimed at funding innovative community & civic projects within the greater Australia & New Zealand regions. They are interested in programs that create collaborations, produce direct actions, utilize several of the 10 Burning Man Principles, are reproducible, and creatively tackle local social problems.
This grant gives anyone the opportunity to submit a collaborative, creative, and principle-focused project with a chance to win up to a $1,500 grant (USD).
Submissions to the ANZLS Civic Ignition grant cycle will be workshopped and judged by a group of participants and community leaders that attend this year’s ANZLS Civic Ignition Grant Workshop. This group will be using the submissions as material to review and workshop while learning how to administer their own civic grant programs.
Grant Information
The maximum grant that maybe awarded is $1,500 (USD). They encourage applicants’ project’s viability to not be solely dependent on this grant. Think about other sources of funding that might be available. Grants awarded could be less than the full amount.
Eligibility Criteria
Individuals, Groups, and Not-for-Profits are all eligible to apply. They encourage projects be endorsed by a local Burning Man Regional Contact. The RC does not need to be a project lead, or heavily involved with the process, rather they are simply endorsing the project and the leaders who are submitting. They recognize not all regions have local RC’s and they encourage applicants to apply even if no RC is able to endorse.
Eligible Projects
Programs that are solely based on artistic endeavors and do not have a community or civic aspect will most likely not be considered for funding. Funds should not be used for direct fundraising, chapter promotion efforts, or for paying people for their work.
Timeline
- Grant Opportunity is announced on May 2st.
- Deadline for grant submissions is May 24th (Midnight)
- Workshop Participants will review the grant proposals at the 2018 ANZLS in Melbourne, Australia (June 1-2)
- Winner(s) will be announced Sunday evening at the ANZLS (June 3rd)
