WHY THIS MATTERS
Traditional arts funding is highly competitive, bureaucratic, and often misses grassroots creators.
Small amounts of money can completely change the trajectory of an emerging artist's project.
By funding locally, we ensure Wollongong retains its unique cultural identity.
Members get a genuine connection to the art being made in their own backyard.
Becoming a Culture Bank Member is very easy – so please join us now
Donations are at your discretion with $20 the suggested monthly contribution however for those who are not in the position to gift much, we will certainly accept less to keep Culture Bank operating and to keep us all moving forward.
If you are already a member, you may want to consider an additional one off donation.
It all goes towards funding creativity in our city.
The membership fee covers the period of each financial year beginning 1 July.
Once you are a member of Culture Bank – you can choose to be involved in deciding which projects receive our financial support. Lively and inspiring dinners are held a couple of times a year, and members share great food while we discuss the submitted projects.
Help us to spread the word among family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours. Together we can grow the funding and see amazing projects come to life! There has never been a lack of fantastic ideas for projects that come out of our community. Still, there is a lack of resources to support these concepts. Your contribution will make a REAL difference.
Members receive invitations to the public events Culture Bank has supported when we can. We also provide you with updates and developments.
