Foundations, Councils and Institutes Over the past nearly 40 years the Australian Government has established cultural councils supporting people-to-people links underpinning our key bilateral and regional relationships. Eminent Australians are appointed to the boards, providing a range of expertise and input to Australia’s foreign and trade policy.
Funding for these Foundations, Councils and Institutes and for the Australian Cultural Diplomacy Grants Program is provided through the International Relations Grants Program. The International Relations Grants Program (IRGP) supports the Government's foreign and trade policies and projects a positive contemporary image of Australia.
IRGP grants support professional, community and institutional linkages between Australia and its partners on contemporary issues of shared interest including the arts, media, education, business, science, technology and sport. The grant guidelines for each round are available on the individual websites, listed here . There is considerable competition for grant money and individual grants generally do not exceed $40,000.
Generally Australian individuals and organisations, as well as joint applications involving non-Australian individuals or organisations with an Australian partner, are eligible. IRGP grants are managed in accordance with the Commonwealth Grant Rules and Guidelines.
Grants are generally not awarded for: Capital expenditure including items such as real property, equipment or computer software; Activities that are properly the responsibility of other funding bodies or other government agencies (e.g. development assistance projects, trade promotion and academic research); Activities that are commercially viable in their own right or which give a commercial advantage to one organisation; Conference travel, salaries for research assistants or administrative staff; honorariums or administrative charges levied by the applicant's organisation; Travel budgets involving more than modest expenses (e.g. economy flights only); or Projects already completed.
We welcome the ideas of a wide range of Australians.

Read articleA compliance roadmap published August 19 lays out what colleges and universities have to certify before the 2026-2027 academic year — and two of the items get almost no attention. FAR 52.222-90 must be flowed into existing contracts by December 31, 2026. And under EO 14282, certification of Section 117 foreign gift compliance is now expressly material to False Claims Act liability and to receiving federal grant funds at all. Here is the full stack, the dates, and what a defensible file looks like.
Read articleOMB and roughly 40 agencies have proposed the most sweeping overhaul of 2 CFR Part 200 in more than a decade.
