Culture, Heritage and Arts Regional Tourism (CHART) Program
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Culture, Heritage and Arts Regional Tourism (CHART) program was a $3 million Australian Government program that aimed to support community cultural heritage and arts organisations in regional Australia as they recover from the impacts of COVID-19.
Applications closed on April 29th, 2022. The CHART grants provided funding up to $3,000 to enhance visitor experiences, promotions, and access to organisations and their services, with the goal of supporting the sustainability of regional cultural organisations and their local economies.
The grant program was implemented by AMaGA on behalf of the Federal Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications through the Office for the Arts.
RECIPIENTS
The CHART grants supported 571 organisations across Australia, with a combined total of $1,580,928 in funding.
Victoria was the largest beneficiary, with 131 organisations receiving grants, totalling $346,640 — around 22% of the national funding pool.
