read moreCreative Partnerships Australia’s successful matched funding program for arts organisations, Plus1, is back for 2016/17.
Through Plus1, small to medium arts organisations receive matched funding for fundraising campaigns that support a project or activity of their choice. This year, successful recipients will share in $1.2 million in matched funding, capped at $50,000 per project.
Since Australia’s first national matched funding program for arts launched in 2013, the program has provided around $5.6 million in matched funding to more than 160 arts organisations around Australia, generating more than $11.6 million in funding that has been invested directly into the sector.
Plus1 presents a significant opportunity for arts and cultural organisations to leverage new private sector support from donors.
In 2015/16, 30 arts and cultural organisations raised $1,439,814 from 1,380 donors through their fundraising campaigns for a range of projects, from graduate programs, exhibitions and instrument acquisition to new theatre spaces and international tours. With our contribution of $1,255,537 in matched funding, a total of $2,695,351 was injected into the arts sector.
Examples of projects or activities that can be supported through Plus1 include creating and presenting new artistic work, initiatives such as an education program or scholarship opportunity, employment of new staff, fundraising support expenses, technology improvements and core operational support.
Successful applicants will have around seven months to run their campaigns, giving them plenty of time to implement a successful fundraising strategy, engage supporters and reach their fundraising targets.
Plus1 has supported organisations around Australia to leverage funding from donors, including Griffin Theatre, NSW; Junction Arts, Tasmania; Helpmann Academy, South Australia; Back to Back Theatre, Victoria; the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts and Open House Melbourne.
Creative Partnerships Australia is supported by the Australian Government through the Ministry for the Arts.
