Terminology

This refers to a system whereby an organisation applies for a grant on your behalf.  If the application is successful the organisation is responsible for keeping financial records and provides a financial acquittal of the grant.

Funding which is delivered by another organisation on behalf of DCA.

Earned income is any income derived from participation in your activity, not including grants from DCA.

Services provided free of charge. For example, a producer might agree to produce your CD and only charge you half the rate.  They are therefore providing the other half of their fee ‘in kind’.

Those people involved in the production or organisation of your event or project.

The assessment panel is the group of people who assess your application and make funding recommendations.  The panel is made up of industry professionals who have specialist expertise in one or more artforms. There are five panels: Arts Development; Indigenous Arts; Young People & The Arts; Contemporary Music; Designer Fashion.

Any income provided to the project by you.

An arrangement between a person and/or organisation where that person or organisation provides financial support and/or in-kind assistance to you.  Sponsorship is usually tied to direct outcomes identified by the sponsor.
