Here I found a creative communities scheme for an arts residency scholarship. Unfortunately it is not really chosen for emerging artist's but more for stable and professionalized artists.

https://www.creativenz.govt.nz/find-funding/funds/berlin-visual-arts-residency - this is an application where I am really interested in as it is a years residencies in Berlin for the arts.

Individuals can apply to the neighborhood fund... But has to be targeted within a neighborhood.

Points on how to write a Funding application:

They are attach to link's for extra reference.

•Ask for Project Funding

•Be Positive in your application

How to prepare a budget for grant writing: 

• make and print a budget on a new page.
• figures must be aligned correctly.
• Data must be double checked and round off the numbers to make it easier for the reader to read.
• column headings must be included in as a budget category. requesting funds, local contributions, and project tool.

Theirs references below that link them to another reference.

•Include Direct Costs like:

•Personnel

•Fringe benefits (if you have to pay taxes etc on wages)

•Travel

•Equipment

•Supplies

•In-Kind Contributions

•Indirect Costs should be included too, like:

•Building costs

•Insurance

•Utilities

•Trash pickup, professional cleaning, etc

•If you don’t list it, you can’t be funded for it, so do your research and be SPECIFIC

IN-KIND contributions.

•Examples of gifts-in-kind include:

•corporate volunteers and pro-bono professional services

•use of a building and utilities

•advertising

•donation of computers, or other tech resources

•transportation

•Base the value of these services or goods on their “market value.” For example, a volunteer working in an unskilled position would be calculated at minimum wage rates.

•To indicate this in a budget, you might include a formula such as five volunteers X $xxx hourly X 5 hours per week X 36 weeks = $xxxx. In-kind contributions can impress reviewers as they provide evidence that your program enjoys community support.

I was sent another link by Kathryn that was more appropriate for an emerging artist. especially for a residencies scholarship application. http://www.winsornewton.com/row/residencycompetition
