Adaptation Fund 2020 Closing date: 16 Oct 2020
This one-off fund is designed to support transformation or significant development of the business model and/or artistic practice of organisations in the Toi Uru Kahikatea or Toi Tōtara Haemata investment programmes. The fund was also open to Māori-led and Pacific-led arts organisations who submitted an Expression of Interest in participating in Te Puāwaitanga in March 2020. The fund encourages new ways of working within changed environments and supports new and adapted organisational models in response to the opportunities presented by COVID-19. We were interested in proposals focused on a re-think of organisational systems and processes and the adoption and deployment of digital technologies and solutions.
