The Seed Grant (Organisational Development) for Traditional Arts Scheme was launched in early 2011 as part of the Traditional Arts Development Plan. The scheme aims to nurture a pool of promising Traditional Arts organisations, which reflect the artistic and cultural expressions of Singapore's major ethnic groups, to champion and promote Traditional Arts and contribute to the ethnic and cultural vibrancy and overall advancement of Singapore's arts scene.

The scheme provides 2-year funding to a selected number of promising Traditional Arts organisations. This is a one-time funding to assist them to move towards a more professional organisational structure. Successful applicants will be supported in the organisation's operations, core business programmes and capability development. They will also work with a consultant who will diagnose the health of the organisation and assist the organisation to address specific needs such as strategic planning, leadership development and marketing & financial development
