Deadline: 16-Aug-21
The Flying Arts Alliance is offering Regional Arts Fund (RAF) Project Grants to provide major funding for high-quality arts projects benefitting regional or remote artists, arts workers, audiences and communities.
The focus of the project could include any area of creative practice, multiple art forms or cross-disciplinary practice.
Objectives
The objectives of the Regional Arts Fund are to support and promote participation in, and access to, Australia’s arts and culture in regional and remote Australia, and through doing so:
- encourage and support sustainable economic, social and cultural outcomes in regional communities;
- develop partnerships and networks which leverage financial and/or in−kind support for regional arts projects and encourage ongoing collaboration;
- develop audiences and broaden community engagement with the arts;
- increase employment and professional development opportunities for, and raise the profile of, regional and remote artists; and
- support quality and viability of artistic and cultural activity.
Funding Information
- Funding for up to $30,000 is available through this grant program. There is no minimum amount. Funding is available through annual or multi-year agreements, subject to available funds.
- They highly encourage you to speak with a RAF Officer if you are applying for an amount greater than $20,000 as a large funding request may be unachievable where round funds are limited.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible you must:
- be an individual or Australian incorporated organisation or local government organisation
- have an active Australian Business Number (ABN) that is registered to your name and location
- if required by the Australian Tax Office, be registered for the purposes of GST
- not have any outstanding reports, acquittals or serious breaches relating to any Australian Government funding or funding from a state or territory Regional Program Administrator. A serious breach is one that has resulted in, or warrants, the termination of a grant agreement.
