The Election Funding Authority of New South Wales is the agency of the Government of New South Wales charged with administering the Elections Funding Act 1981. The Authority distributes public funding for the purposes of campaigning by candidates in state elections and handles claims for payments from the state's Political Education Fund. In New South Wales the New South Wales Electoral Commission is responsible for the adminisation, organisation, and supervision of elections.

Candidates for public office in New South Wales have obligations under the Elections Funding Act to declare political donations, as well as expenditure on campaigning. Disclosures are required to be made by 20 October each year.[1]

The Authority is the responsibility of the Department of Premier and Cabinet.
