The Funding Programs branch is responsible for the efficient and effective administration of Arts NSW’s grants program, the Arts Funding Program.
The branch is the first point of contact for those interested in funding opportunities. The Funding Programs branch is guided by policies developed by the Strategy and Government Relations branch, and works closely with them to develop and evaluate strategies to support artists and arts organisations.
The Funding Programs branch is responsible for managing all activities relating to the implementation of the Arts Funding Program including guidelines development, assessment processes and payments. It has the prime responsibility for managing all contractual relationships with arts organisations.
