Porridge Fund Application Form

Hello and welcome

This form is for applying to receive some hardship funds to support your recent 2022 Edinburgh Fringe expedition.
Please note: this form is also available for email, WhatsApp, Messenger, as a web-based form, as a regular Word document and over the phone – please do let me know if you would prefer one of them instead.

If you’d like my phone number, please let me know.

Firstly, about you
Your name
Your email
Your website

Website preferred, but Instagram / other if you don't have one.

Your location
Your artform
Details of your show
The name of your show
Your venue
Your dates
How many shows?
Your role

Performer, director, producer etc.

What were your typical audience figures?
About your Fringe
Was this your first Edinburgh Fringe?
What was your purpose in participating in this year's EdFringe?
Did you achieve your plan?
How did the Fringe go for you?
Do you have any stories of how your Fringe went?

The more serendipitous the better!

And one last one for this section - do you have any relevant stories to tell of your Fringe experiences?

Eg, Airbnb host deciding to charge way more, having to cancel shows because of Covid, train strikes, Acts of God etc. 

Some financial questions
What did it cost you?
How much did you budget?
How much did you lose?
Did you receive any funding to help with your Fringe costs?
If so, where did the funding come from, and for how much? Eg crowdfunding, ACE / ACW / ACNI / Creative Scots etc.
And now, for the important ones

Depending on how much money is raised, I expect bursaries will be predominantly in the £100 - £250 range, with a few £500 bursaries offered, if the funds are there. 

Ideally, how much would you like?
Is it for anything specific?
If so:
If not, what will it help cover?
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Finally....

I don't want to run a lottery (even if lottery money would rock!), I want to support artists as the creatives they are.

Therefore, please do send something creative by you. Please share a story - it doesn't have to be long. Or a short video of you and your phone and your work. Or something else representing your artistic practice.

I do not want to be in the position of rejecting people based on the work they have submitted - I want to ensure that if they have taken the time to apply, then time will be taken to invest in their applications.
