With One Voice Community Choir Seed Funding

Creativity Australia is offering grants of up to $10,000 to people or groups who are wanting to start a With One Voice choir in their community.

If you have a passion for bringing people together, for nurturing community connection, for celebrating diversity, for being inclusive, for singing and for changing the world one voice at a time, then this could be the opportunity you have been waiting for!

The With One Voice movement is about strengthening communities and inspiring individuals to find their voice. The movement is more than just singing with your local community choir. It’s an opportunity to create real connections between the people in your community. It’s about building bridges between those who are experiencing disadvantage and those more fortunate, and creating opportunities for people of diverse backgrounds and situations to learn from one another and help each other.

Local community groups, social businesses and not-for-profits wanting to promote social inclusion and tackle loneliness, isolation, depression and disadvantage in their community are invited to apply. Additionally, each successful application joins a 12-month intensive mentoring program.

Closes: 20 Nov 2020

The intended outcomes of the program are:

Significant Commonwealth-funded performing arts and culture organisations remain solvent
Australian communities continue to benefit from the work of significant Commonwealth-funded organisations as the key employers of Australian artists and art workers, leading presenters of high-quality work and as the trainers of Australia’s upcoming performing artists.
