Once you become an ‘Individual’ Member of Culture Bank Wollongong, we will, in effect, salute you! You will be one of the growing locals who recognise the importance of living in a vibrant, culturally active community. We plan to have at least 2000 members, which will mean an excess of $240,000 to give to inspiring cultural projects each year. Imagine that! Together we have already been making a real difference, and we will continue to grow from strength to strength.
You choose how much you want to be involved. You will receive invitations to decision dinners and events that Culture Bank has financially supported.
You will receive monthly statements for tax-deductible purposes.
You can decide which local cultural projects receive our support by attending lively. Together, we share a great meal, discuss the funding applications, and vote on the submitted projects.
All members are invited via email and Facebook to attend the Decision Dinners (approximately 3 per year), and a new group of 9 members takes part on each occasion.
Please note: Memberships and payments can be cancelled at any time. However, our memberships are not refundable.
“The [Culture Bank] process is much easier [than government funding. Lots of people have good ideas, creative ideas. Still, unfortunately, the main reason they don’t turn into reality is usually money.”
