Individual donors, workplace giving, foundations and trusts, financial planners and corporate foundations all have a role to play in growing cultural philanthropy in Australia.

Artsupport Australia works closely with individual philanthropists and foundations to:

  • source arts projects in need of funding and co-funding, responding to criteria provided by philanthropists and foundations
  • provide advice on the cultural sector, in consultation with Australia Council staff and peak arts bodies
  • clarify requirements, specifications and assessment processes to help open the door to cultural recipients.
Whether your interest is supporting disadvantaged young people, health projects or educational endeavours, Artsupport Australia can source arts organisations who are using their creativity to make a difference.

Since it began in 2003, Artsupport Australia has facilitated more than $35 million in philanthropic funding for the arts in Australia.

Artsupport Australia works closely with Philanthropy Australia, the peak organisation for the sector.
