Survey: Government Funding of Not-For-Profits
Department of Internal Affairs,
This survey looked at central government’s funding of non-profit organisations (NPOs).
It highlights that in 2005/06:
- the largest amounts of departmental payments were made to NPOs in the social services, education and health activity sectors;
- contract payments for services dominate over grant funding;
- there are difficulties tracking payment and funding arrangements through more than one agency to NPOs;
- information about payments made by Crown entities to NPOs was limited; and
- some government payments to NPOs occur indirectly through a second tier of agencies such as Crown entities and local authorities
There are two distinct streams of funding:
- payments of $1.25 billion to NPOs from Departments; and
- payments of at least $141 million to NPOs from Crown entities
