Purpose
Documentary Australia grants fiscal sponsorship to independent documentary filmmakers with a quality social impact project.
Overview
Fiscal sponsorship is a formal arrangement that Documentary Australia offer to projects that align with their social mission. The agreement allows approved projects to use their Deductible Gift Recipient status, for the purpose of fundraising grants and donations.
This allows you to seek philanthropic grants and solicit tax-deductible donations for your social impact project, documentary or campaign, with the oversight and endorsement of Documentary Australia.
Application submissions are reviewed four times each year. The upcoming application rounds are:
- Wednesday 29 January 2025

- Wednesday 6 August 2025
- Wednesday 29 October 2025
Limitations
- Your project must be a non-fiction film, video or multimedia project. The term “project” is used broadly, and may refer to a one-time project or an ongoing series.
- The project director (or producer) must have an Australian Business Number.
- The project application should reflect your ability to develop a quality project and your ability to identify funding sources.
- Although your film may be on any social issue, the film must have a clear social impact goal and must not reflect values that unlawfully discriminate, according to the UN Declaration of Human Rights.
- Your project must be social issue driven and must not be produced solely for commercial gain.
