Arts Nova Scotia is a funding provider for projects connected to arts grants, professional artists, arts organizations, cultural production and public access to the arts in Nova Scotia. It appears in grant records as a program, fund or public-sector-supported initiative rather than as a conventional private foundation.

Funding may support eligible nonprofits, public institutions, Indigenous-led organizations, municipalities, community groups or service providers depending on the program design. Rules are normally defined by the program guide and may include eligible costs, geographic restrictions, reporting requirements and service outcomes.
