Criteria for APRA Music Grants

  • the application for funding may be made on behalf of an organisation or a particular project;
  • the primary aim of the organisation or project must be to promote the use or recognition of New Zealand musical compositions rather than recordings or recording artists;
  • “use” may relate to broadcasts, recordings, communications to the public or other activities that increase the commercial circulation or public awareness of New Zealand compositions in New Zealand or internationally;
  • “recognition” may relate to awards or other forms of public acclaim for New Zealand compositions in New Zealand or internationally;
  • preference will be given to projects or organisations that broadly benefit the interest of New Zealand composers and songwriters, as opposed to those which benefit an individual writer or small number of writers;
  • preference will be given to those applicants who can demonstrate a proven ability to plan and execute projects, or establish and maintain organisations, which benefit New Zealand music;
  • preference will be given to those organisations or projects which are non-profit in nature, although commercial projects are not excluded from eligibility;
  • projects or organisations which fail to comply with financial reporting or other performance review requirements will thereafter be ineligible for further grants;
  • sponsorship or other financial contributions from third parties to a project or organisation applying will be considered an advantage in assessing an application;
  • although the funding is intended to apply to projects or organisations seeking grants, consideration will be given to those projects for which underwriting finance is sought.
