Creative Partnerships Australia’s MATCH Lab matched funding program 2020-21 is now open for applications!

Are you an independent artist or group of artists with a project to fund and keen to learn the art of fundraising? You could be eligible for Creative Partnerships Australia’s MATCH Lab dollar-for-dollar funding program, with up to $5,000 available per project.

MATCH Lab is an intensive, hands-on development program that builds fundraising and arts business skills, and assists artists in running a successful fundraising campaign, with advice and support from Creative Partnerships Australia along the way.

If your application is successful, you’ll take part in Raising Money for Your Art, a two-day professional development and fundraising clinic and run a fundraising campaign, with the option to use the ACF or any other fundraising platforms. Whatever you raise, Creative Partnerships Australia will match dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000.

Applications for MATCH Lab close Thursday 29 October 2020 at 5pm AEDT.
