Capacity Building Grants

Capacity Building Grants for Youth Arts Organisations

Capacity Building Grants for Youth Arts Organisations support organisations to grow their business or change their business model to encourage organisational sustainability. It is expected the grant will assist in increasing the capacity of organisational staff by skills development, acquiring new information through expert advice, changed operations, or revised organisational purpose or models, for example.

Capacity Building Grants for Youth Arts Organisations will support organisations working in any art form developed and presented for, by and with children and young people aged 26 years and under.

Offered once per year, Capacity Building Grants for Youth Arts Organisations will provide grants of up to $10,000 for activity in the following calendar year from an annual pool of up to $50,000.
