How it works
- Send in "Share your Dream".
- The art team reviews it and, if it's a fit, invites you to the next stage.
- Apply in full: complete "Full Application" with dimensions, a safety plan, and a line-item budget.
- The art team reviews your full application.
- You're notified of the decision. If approved, you move on to the grant terms and conditions.
A review committee reads every application and decides which projects to fund.
Funded grants are paid 70% up front once the terms and conditions are signed, with the remaining 30% on completion and approved receipts.
WHAT WE FUND
