Cultural Gifts Program

The Cultural Gifts Program (CGP) plays a significant role in the development of public collections in Australia by offering tax incentives to encourage people to donate cultural items to our public galleries, museums, libraries and archives. The CGP is administered by the Office for the Arts in the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts.

Prospective donors, cultural institutions, and CGP valuers are encouraged to read the CGP Guide prior to commencing an application, and should also refer to the below links.

To apply through the Program:

the donor and recipient institution will need to complete a Certificate of Donation, and
two valuations must be completed by approved Program valuers using the Valuation Certificate.

Once these documents are finalised, the recipient institution can apply through this online submission portal:
