The Australian Cultural Fund is an online fundraising platform for the Australian arts and cultural sector, administered by Creative Australia. 

Through the Australian Cultural Fund, artists and arts organisations run short-term campaigns for specific projects or register annual giving campaigns to support ongoing work and general operating costs.  

Donations over $2 received via the Australian Cultural Fund are tax deductible. There are no fees to fundraise or distribute funds through the Australian Cultural Fund, which means that 100% of donations and philanthropic grants go directly to artists and arts organisations.  

Donors and philanthropists

Donors can use the Australian Cultural Fund to preference a gift to artists and organisations that do not have Deductible Gift Registry (DGR) status and receive a tax deduction for their generosity. 

Trusts and foundations 

For trusts and foundations, the Australian Cultural Fund runs a special initiative called Amplify, which allows foundations to distribute to recipients who do not have Deductible Gift Registry (DGR) status. This provides flexible models for multi-year funding and comprehensive administration and grant-making support.
