The National Arts Council of South Africa (NAC) is inviting registered arts organisations/companies within the arts sector to apply for the three-year Arts Organisation Support Funding. Arts organisations active in the disciplines of theatre, dance, music, visual arts, craft, literature and multi-disciplines are invited to submit their three-year business plans by specifying which key pillar/s their Programme addresses.

Proposed projects should be of national significance and should have impact on communities. The creation of new works, arts development, arts promotion, job creation, capacity building in arts entrepreneurship and facilitation of access to the arts will be taken into consideration. Furthermore, proposals that promote environmental sustainability, nation building and social cohesion and have a strong community base will be preferable. Proposed artistic programmes must demonstrate impact and value for the communities they operate in. The project applied for must fulfill two (2) or more of the following arts outcomes, namely; economic value, creative value, social value, therapeutic value and educational value. This invitation also encourages arts organisations that support the involvement of women, youth and people living with disabilities particularly in historically disadvantaged areas to apply.
Consideration will be given to organisations that have the capacity and proven track record to implement arts programmes within the required timelines. In addition, organisations should demonstrate the capacity to utilise the funding with integrity and compliance within the principles and practices of sound governance.
