REGIONAL ARTS FUND RECOVERY BOOST<br />
The RAF Recovery Boost Fund was a $10 million targeted measure announced by the Australian Government in <strong>2020</strong> as part of the Relief and Recovery Fund.<br />
Responding to the difficulties experienced by regional artists, arts organisations and communities due to COVID-19, the Recovery Boost was one-off funding<br />
delivered through the Regional <strong>Arts</strong> Fund and sought to offer short (Relief), medium (Recovery) and long-term (Renewal) support.<br />
RAF RECOVERY BOOST - RELIEF<br />
Relief grants were designed to assist regional artists, and arts organisations and communities to meet their immediate needs. This could include asset<br />
replacement or purchase, support for arts practice (including self-directed residency/research and development), small projects and professional development<br />
opportunities.<br />
RAF RECOVERY BOOST - RECOVERY<br />
Recovery grants were designed to meet the medium-term recovery needs of regional artists, organisations and communities. Projects in this programs<br />
focused on activities that assisted in recovery from the impacts of COVID-19.<br />
Project activities include creative recovery projects, training programs, operational recovery plans, asset purchase or replacement (up to $5000) and the<br />
development of risk plans and emergency operating procedures and responses.<br />
RAF RECOVERY BOOST - RENEWAL<br />
Renewal grants will provide up to three-years of funding to support projects that have strong partnerships and demonstrated long term outcomes, with<br />
sustainable future-positioning focus. Funding decisions to be announced in April 2021.<br />
“Your grant lifted my spirit and my game, and I immediately went to<br />
work looking for opportunities to help me feel solid again, and the ideas<br />
for new projects are flying out of me.”<br />
