If you or your group is not incorporated, you can still apply for a grant if you have an auspicing body. An auspicing body is a legally constituted organisation that will take legal and financial responsibility for a grant if awarded.

STA can be an auspicing body for your arts and cultural grant application. We recommend that you read our auspicing policy. 

If a grant is awarded, the auspicing body must also sign the Conditions for Payment of Grant form and is responsible for reporting on the grant within three months of the project’s completion. All correspondence and monies will be directed to the auspicing body. It is recommended that grant applicants enter into a written agreement with their nominated auspicing body highlighting respective rights and responsibilities.

Make an appointment to discuss if STA is a good match to auspice your next grant application. Or we can help match you to another organisation that suits.
