ArtsPay is an Australian payments company that believes in making business add up for everyone. Our mission is to build a sustainable source of funding for the arts, driven by world-class payment technology. ArtsPay works across all industries, including hospitality, retail, arts, e‑commerce, tech, government and service sectors, to turn the payments industry into a force for good. Fifty percent of the profits generated by transaction fees are used to support the arts via our registered charity, The ArtsPay Foundation.
The ArtsPay Foundation is the charitable arm of ArtsPay. It distributes funds raised from transaction fees to artists and small arts organisations across Australia, focusing on those driving community connection, inclusion and creativity. Its mission is to become a permanent, sustainable new source of funding for artists all around Australia. The Foundation is managed by an independent Board and operates as an ACNC registered charity, with both TCC and DGR statuses. It issues grants that help strengthen the arts ecosystem by providing flexible, no‑strings‑attached support that enables creative practice to thrive.
The Advisory Committee supports the Co‑Founders and Directors in strengthening ArtsPay’s strategy, growth and governance as the organisation transitions from an early‑stage startup to a mature, purpose‑led enterprise. Committee Members contribute their expertise across multiple domains, collaborate on cross‑functional initiatives and play a key role in shaping the company's future governance structures. Members are not Directors and have no regulatory responsibilities. All members will be asked to comply with the ArtsPay Charter of Roles and Responsibilities, covering matters related to good governance.
Diversity and Inclusion: ArtsPay is committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve across culture, gender, age, ability and lived experience. We particularly welcome interest from First Nations people, people living with disability and those working in regional or remote communities.
