Applications for 2018 Regional Small Grants now open

Regional writing groups and organisations in Victoria are able to apply for grants of $880 to subsidise literary activities in their area, thanks to the support of the Grace Marion Wilson Trust.

Applicants must be current regional members of Writers Victoria (in the non-profit organisation or regional writers’ group membership category), or Regional Ambassadors, and based in one of the 48 Local Government Authorities in Regional Victoria as listed on the Creative Victoria website.

If your organisation is not a member, please renew your membership or join us prior to submitting your application.

In order to apply:

  • Applicants must be regional members of Writers Victoria (in the non-profit organisation or writers’ group membership category)
  • Only one application may be submitted per group or organisation
  • Grants cannot be used to fund existing Writers Victoria tours or workshops
  • All activities must take place in Victoria between May and December 2018. Activities cannot be supported retrospectively

If successful, your group or organisation will be responsible for:

  • Contracting your author or speaker
  • Using the grant to go towards costs related to the writer’s fee, travel and accommodation
  • Providing a safe and accessible venue for the event
  • Coordinating bookings for the event (you are encouraged to charge an entry fee to help cover your costs)
  • Crediting Writers Victoria and the Grace Marion Wilson Trust in all publicity for the event

How to apply

The number of grants is limited, and applications will be assessed on merit. Writers Victoria is particularly keen to see applications from groups that have not received funding before, as well as from previous recipients seeking to deliver literary activities in new areas.

To apply, please complete the application form and email your form to [email protected] by 9am Monday 28 May 2018.
