TCA Partnership Fund Grants (closed)

In 2022 and 2023, grants of $2,000 to $5,000 were available for publishing projects managed by recognised industry organisations or individuals.

The final Partnership Fund grant was awarded in August 2023. For current funding opportunities, see our other Cultural Fund awards and grants.

What we funded

Partnership Fund Grants supported opportunities that:

  • Had clearly defined, measurable project outcomes
  • Were managed by recognised publishing industry organisations or individuals
  • Had other funding or in-kind resources that, at minimum, equalled the funding sought
  • Met Cultural Fund objectives

We prioritised projects reaching and engaging communities of diverse authors and illustrators, including the next generation. Applicants committed to paying a living wage to anyone working on the project.
