So this would have been worked out on Impact both to the artist(s) and the impact it will generate

1 arts project got $1.87 million in COVID response RISE $ from Fed gov

So some rough post it note calculations

That's 187 Arts start grants for graduates. #impact
That's 125 Next Capter Bursaries. #impact

That's 1870 writers getting a $1000 each. PS how many writers are there in Melbourne? #impact

That's enough to pay for subscriptions for every Victoria literary Journal to every member of Writers Victoria #impact
That's 18 VPLA winners prize money #impact

That's nearly triennial funding for all the resident orgs in Wheeler Centre
That's enough to make fees for Melb Fringe for artists not needed for a few years. #impact

That's enough to let all of our regional writers festivals stop having to use their money to run their festivals and move towards sustainability. #impact
That's enough to buy 6243 copies of a $29.95 new release from a Australian Author from a Victorian bookshop and then leave it in a local little library for someone to grab. #impact
