Grants

Creative Communities is funded through a combination of sponsorships, consultancies, School of Creative Arts and Faculty of Arts funds, corporate partnerships and grants.

Successful grant applications have been an integral part of Creative Communities. Organisations such as the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal is the latest organisation to contribute funds to the Mailbox plays and Discovering Landcare projects.
