Areas of funding Triennial Funding Triennial funding may be offered to selected organisations at the discretion of the NSW Ministry for the Arts. Enquiries regarding triennial funding should be directed to the program manager for Music. In general the Music Committee looks to a small number of professional organisations to set standards of excellence in performance, promote touring and education programs and artistically reflect the State's cultural diversity. Annual program grants directed towards the overall budget of an organisation provide support for the presentation of a number of concerts or productions in a year.
Funding is also available for general running costs for service and support organisations.
This funding includes administration salaries and costs, but not capital costs such as the purchase of equipment. Applications for music coordinators are welcome from organisations where a particular need is demonstrated and where facilities for the position are offered. Applications will be considered for either one-year or ongoing music coordination programs that show evidence of local support. While funding will be considered for up to 50 per cent of the coordinator's salary, the grant awarded may be considerably less. Projects Grants made under the Music Program are generally given to subsidise the salaries or fees paid to musicians and others for their professional services.
