Application for "Inspire" or "Grow" Grants

Complete this application form if the funding category you are applying for is either the INSPIRE grant or the GROW grant.  

Artists, performers, groups and organisations looking to bring community together through hands-on workshops, live performances, art trails, festivals, public art and other arts and creative experiences may apply for INSPIRE Grants.

GROW grants support projects where artists, performers, groups and organisations use the arts to build community resilience and wellbeing, or any circumstances where arts practice may benefit a community’s ability to process an identified issue or need. For example, combatting loneliness, or helping people recovering from a flood or a bushfire, by bringing them together to participate in a workshop or a community art project.

Both the INSPIRE and GROW Grants are capped at $8,000 for eligible activities with the amount of the grant not to exceed 65% of the total project cost. 

If the funding amount you are seeking is more than $5,000, you must speak with the Arts and Cultural Development Officer (Ph: 0439 174 373) about your proposal prior to submitting an application.
