Cultural Fund Policy

Supporting the arts in Aotearoa through the RRA Cultural Fund
Resale Royalties Aotearoa (RRA) is establishing a Cultural Fund to support the career sustainability of visual artists in Aotearoa New Zealand.
The fund will be supported through unclaimed resale royalty payments that remain unclaimed for more than six years after notification, as well as donations from artists and their successors. RRA intends to develop and publish a Cultural Fund Policy in consultation with key stakeholder groups.
If you would like to support the Cultural Fund, you may choose to decline or assign all, or part of a resale royalty payment to the fund. You can also make a donation to the Cultural Fund directly. If you would like to discuss making a contribution, please contact the RRA team.
For further information, please see the Resale Royalties Aotearoa Cultural Fund Statement (2026) in the PDF below.
