GRANTS FUNDING 2015-16
MINISTRY FOR THE ARTS
Agencies are required to publish details of their individual grants on their website no later than 14 working days after the funding agreement for the grant
takes effect.
A grant is a conditional transfer of resources from the Australian Government to a recipient for a specified purpose. Grants are directed at assisting
recipients to achieve their own goals whilst also supporting Australian Government policy objectives.
The Ministry for The Arts was transferred from the Attorney General’s Department in September 2015. For completeness, all grants awarded for the current
financial year (from 1 July 2015) are published here.
This list was last updated on 18 January 2016.
