Writing NSW Emerging Writing Organisation Grants

Emerging Writing Organisation Grants were awarded by Writing NSW to support emerging writing organisations, groups and collectives across the state. The aim of the grants was to foster a vibrant, diverse and innovative writing culture in NSW.

The Emerging Writing Organisation Grants have been indefinitely suspended and are not open to applications.

Emerging organisations must have started operating no earlier than 1 January 2016 and successfully delivered at least one activity to support writers and writing culture. They must not have previously received a grant of $5000 or more from State, Territory or Federal governments or their agencies. At least one grant will be awarded to an organisation based in regional NSW or Western Sydney, provided an application is received that meets all of the grant criteria.

Funding may be used to assist emerging organisations, groups or collectives to deliver projects such as, for example:

  • Events or other writing-related activities
  • Development of digital or other platforms for writing
  • New forms of support or audience development for writers
  • Collaborative writing-related projects

Applicants are eligible to apply for organisational capacity building projects but must demonstrate outcomes directly related to writers or writing culture. Applicants will be required to submit a detailed budget for the project to be funded by the grant.
