Light a fire ▶︎ Auspice Service
Our auspice service helps ignite the region with exciting events, partnerships and commercial ventures.
Creatives living and working the length of the Coffs Coast have visions of how to develop our region as a creative industries hub. We can help bring those visions to life.
As a not-for-profit Incorporated Association, we can provide an auspice service for grant applications on behalf of individuals and groups with differing structures, from sole traders to commercial enterprises.
Not only do we offer a valuable tool in auspicing grant applications, we can provide developmental support for your project through our brains trust - tap into the Blacklight Collective board members’ combined expertise, experience and contacts to turbo charge your arts business.
Events catalyst
We support the development and delivery of major arts events that typically involve extensive collaboration between local creatives.
In partnership with Coffs Harbour City Council and Create NSW, we programmed and produced Make Music Day 2021 in Coffs Harbour.
Working with SWIFF (Screenwave International Film Festival) we prepared a RISE grant application that eventuated in core funding for STORYLAND Music Festival ‘23.
How it works
Pitch us your proposal.
Should we decide to work together, review and sign our auspice agreement.
Involve our brains trust to refine and build support for your project.
Where appropriate, we may engage and cover the cost of a professional grant writer.
We charge an auspice fee equivalent to 5% of successful grant funds.
