Abstract
Over the past two decades funding organisations in both the private and the public
sector have been instrumental in the development of the arts and culture sector
through the disbursement of funds. The National Arts Council (NAG) is an example
of such an organisation in the public sector to oversee sector development and there
has been focus on redress and transformation through grant disbursements. This
research aims to assess the impact of NAG funding on organisations from 2010-
2015 particularly in the craft sector, and to explore the extent to which such funding
has had an effect on their becoming resilient and sustainable. Recommendations will
be made for putting measures into place for the NAG to review their funding policy in
the disbursement of funds so that the funds allocated have a measured impact on
beneficiary organisations.
