THE JACQUI McCOY (GEIA) TRUST |
 APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2009 ROUND NOW CLOSED - STAY TUNED FOR THE 2010 ANNOUNCEMENT EARLY IN THE NEW YEAR
1 opportunity of $5000 available
This trust seeks to honour the memory of the tireless work of the late Jacqui McCoy (Geia), who devoted much of her life to assisting disadvantaged artists from all backgrounds, particularly Indigenous Australian artists.
 Jacqui was an integral committee member from the inception of The JB Seed Fund, always enforcing the need for emerging artists to be nurtured. She was instrumental in developing a way of operating which has kept The JB Seed accessible to fledgling artists and arts workers.
Every application submitted to The JB Seed in 2009 will automatically be eligible to be awarded funds from The Jacqui McCoy trust. The recipient of funds from this trust will be selected at the committee’s discretion, within the 3 categories described above. We will be looking for projects that fit Jacqui’s ethos - projects that seek to assist in growing a healthy, vibrant and nurturing Australian arts community, where artists feel empowered and supported to express themselves and become self sufficient.
