"The Sixth Round of Subsidy: Grassroots Employment Guarantee Project" may be the last round of subsidy. The actual subsidy amount depends on the number of applications. It may be less than HK$20,000.
Cantonese opera In the past year or so, as performance venues have been closed three times due to the novel coronavirus epidemic, livelihoods have been greatly affected. During the first closure period, The Chinese Artists Association of Hong Kong successfully petitioned the government to allocate HK$15 million from "Anti-epidemic Fund" to support its peers. The first and second rounds of funding directly subsidized the losses incurred by practitioners due to the cancellation of performances. A total of 775 practitioners benefited.
After the above-mentioned multiple rounds of funding, the 15 million yuan in funding currently has a balance of about 1 million yuan. After communicating with the government, The Chinese Artists Association of Hong Kong is now launching the "Sixth Round of Subsidy: Grassroots Employment Guarantee Project". The nature of this subsidy is the same as the previous third to fifth rounds: a maximum subsidy of $20,000 is provided for each performance, including the remuneration of grassroots practitioners (up to $18,000) and a fixed subsidy of $2,000 for expenses incurred due to epidemic prevention.
At the same time, the "Sixth Round of Funding: Grassroots Employment Guarantee Project" may also be the last round of funding plan.
