Deadline: 30 August 2024
The Alastair Swayn Foundation is accepting applications for its Design Audio grants for the production of quality audio content on architecture or design for the benefit of the Australian design community’s education.
The Foundation encourages grant applications focused on architecture or design, which emphasise research, promote education, demonstrate vision and innovation, and which have potential for further development and long-term outcomes. Founded by Alastair Swayn AO, the Foundation was established for the public charitable objective of advancing architectural culture and education, including by:
- Providing grants for research into Australian architecture and design including housing
- Promoting and supporting education in architecture, design and technology
- Funding visits by overseas scholars to further advance and promote architecture, design and technology
Funding Information
- The Design Audio grant funding amount is $8,000.00 and will be available to support the production of podcasts.
Outcomes
- Grants will be awarded accordingly to research, education, exhibition, or development activities, which demonstrate one or more of the following outcomes:
- Innovative approaches that build knowledge in design
- Implementing design ideas into practice
- Future thinking for the design industry
- Maximising national and global outreach
Who can apply?
- Grants are offered to individual applicants over the age of 18 years.
- All applicants must have a registered Australian Business Number (ABN)
- Applicants must clearly state if they are applying as individual or on behalf of an organisation, institution or collective.
- Grant applications that focus solely on personal academic studies, or are for activities that are part of assessable coursework are unlikely to be successful. They do not support applications requesting the costs of academic fees or courses.
- The ASF will not consider any new grant, sponsoring or other funding proposal from an individual or entity where they are the recipient of a funded proposal from the ASF that remains active and has not been fully acquitted. For these reasons, grantees with outstanding ASF obligations are ineligible to apply.
