The Quick Response Fashion Grants are open to emerging designers, textile makers, and fashion businesses in New South Wales to support projects that enhance professional skills, expand networks, and foster industry growth.
The Program focuses on supporting business development and industry engagement, with dedicated funding for First Nations designers, and applicants from Western Sydney and Regional NSW. It enables designers to purchase essential equipment, pursue professional development opportunities, produce new works, showcase their creations in new ways, and gain access to tools that further their work. The intended outcomes include skill and experience development, expanded professional networks across NSW, and increased industry recognition through media, trade shows, and publications.
Grants of up to $10,000 are available to support professional development opportunities and the purchase of essential equipment. Eligible applicants include individuals aged 18 or older who are Australian citizens or permanent residents living in NSW for at least 12 months and are studying or working in the fashion industry, as well as companies or partnerships located in NSW with an active Australian Business Number (ABN) and a bank account matching their ABN. Ineligible applicants include insolvent individuals or entities, unincorporated associations, tertiary institutions, and Commonwealth, state, territory, or local government agencies, excluding government corporate entities.
The Quick Response Fashion Grants provide emerging fashion professionals and businesses with opportunities to grow, enhance their skills, expand networks, and increase recognition within the NSW fashion industry.
