Grant Applications

CULTURE BANK WOLLONGONG FUNDING ROUNDS ARE CLOSED FOR THE MOMENT:

Please check here or follow Culture Bank Wollongong on Facebook for updates – or even better – join Culture Bank for updates sent directly to your inbox.

Please do not make funding applications outside this time frame, as they will not be considered. Please read the terms and conditions when applying. *Due to the pandemic crisis, we ask applications to consider providing a short plan B alternative if we are impacted by further COVID restrictions in the period you propose. This is not likely; however, the past two years have been challenging for all the projects we have funded. Many had to re-think the original proposal.

Culture Bank Wollongong’s core purpose is to help create a vital cultural life in the greater Wollongong area. Our aim is to inspire the imagination of our community and galvanize our creativity. Anyone who lives or creates in the Illawarra and wants to:

Explore a passion, initiate an idea, dance, present a comedy routine, recite some poetry, and create something uniquely expressing life, stories, and shared experience – or CULTURE!

Just fill out the application form below with information about yourself and your project details.

What we ask from you, the applicant:

If your application is successful, your project will be supported freely and without conditions from Culture Bank Wollongong (apart from – see below).

All work produced remains the property of the artist/s.

However, we do ask that you show your appreciation for this gift from Culture Bank Wollongong by agreeing to:

Conduct your project within six months of receiving the money from Culture Bank Wollongong (unless otherwise negotiated).

Keep Culture Bank Wollongong informed about the date, times, and location/s of your project so that we can be part of an enthusiastic audience and assist you with promoting your event.

IMPORTANT: You must provide Culture Bank Wollongong with good quality/high-resolution images of your activity/event for promotion. We also require written statements and updates that we can use to promote and give feedback to Culture Bank members. If you do not provide Culture Bank with these things, it will, unfortunately, impact your chance of gaining future funding from Culture Bank.
