What Catalyst will not fund
CATALYST DOES NOT give funding for the staging of a show or an art exhibition, publishing a book, or recording a CD unless these are done as participatory interactive processes. You are encouraged to seek other funding sources for showcasing final products of the project.
Who can apply?Individuals over 18 and groups and organisations are all eligible for funding under the Catalyst scheme. A group does not need to be incorporated. Organisations can include local governments and schools. However, projects are not considered suitable for funding under this scheme if they are part of an existing school curriculum. Both individuals and organisations must supply an Australian Business Number (ABN). If you don’t have an ABN you will be required to have a legal entity auspice your project. | Funding DownloadsCatalyst bulletins - showcasing previous successful projects Catalyst Guidelines and Application forms and Guidelines
