Investment in Ngā Toi – creativity, culture and the arts – can help funders contribute to the social, cultural, economic and environmental wellbeing of New Zealanders.

These good practice guidelines have been developed with the support of Creative New Zealand to help the decision-making of both specialist arts and culture sector funders, and the broader range of funders looking to make a difference in our communities. The guidelines outline how funders can effectively invest in the arts and culture sector to achieve their strategic outcomes.
