Get help with RADF grant writing

Registrations are open for local arts and cultural groups to gain insight into how to prepare their applications for the next round of the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) through a series of information sessions across the region.

Cairns Regional Council is offering one-on-one sessions, by appointment, where potential applicants will receive advice and guidance from the Arts and Cultural Grants Coordinator (Council’s RADF liaison officer) ahead of the next Round funding allocation.

Mayor Bob Manning said the grants offered an opportunity to enhance and develop arts and cultural activities in the region.

“RADF has helped hundreds of local projects get off the ground and delivered positive outcomes for communities across the region,” Cr Manning said.

The one-hour sessions begin on Monday 16 March and will be held at the following libraries:

Registrations close Thursday 12 March. Spaces are limited and bookings are essential. These can be made by contacting the Arts and Cultural Grants Coordinator (Council’s RADF liaison officer) on 074032 6603 or by email at [email protected]
