IF YOU RECEIVE A GRANT
Congratulations on receiving an Arts Fund grant.
Once your project is approved for funding, a Grant Agreement between the Arts Fund and the grant recipient will be prepared. This is a legally binding document governing the terms and conditions of the grant. Individual artists and authorized organization personnel are responsible respectively for upholding the agreement. For a partnership or an unincorporated body, whoever signs is personally responsible.
