Our vibrant arts and cultural scenes get another boost with a new round of funding opportunities.

Arts and culture are a key cornerstone of our City’s identity and form an essential part of what makes this City distinctive. Supporting our artists is a celebration of the cultural diversity, creativity and prosperity of our communities.

That’s why City of Port Phillip’s Cultural Development Fund (CDF) has announced a new round of multi-year funding through the Key Organisations Grants Program, which will support significant local arts and cultural organisations as they continue to reach new audiences and develop new opportunities for artists.

The three-year funding stream will award up to $30,000 per annum to successful not-for-profit arts and cultural organisations based in the City of Port Phillip that have been a legally constituted body for at least two years and have a formal governance structure.

The program will enable these groups to forward plan, build organisational capacity and increase partnership opportunities while strengthening the financial viability of projects and other activities.

Applications Open Monday 21 February

Applications Close: 4pm Friday 25 March

Funding for successful applicants will be awarded from January 2023
