- Support is seen as an endorsement of the recipient’s work and can be used to attract other funding.
- Support allows recipients to develop to a point where they can network with other partners and create synergies that make them stronger and reduce their vulnerability.
- Support enabled organisations to later approach other funders with a good financial system in place.
IMPACT ON THE INDUSTRY

- Support enabled development of materials that benefit schools, curriculum developers, libraries and other organisations.
- Support ensured that arts and culture reaches as many communities as possible, as well as bringing disparate ideas and cultures together.
- Support enabled the creation of employment opportunities or the continuation of employment of practitioners.
