Multicultural grants
Our grants programs support communities to:
- celebrate and share their culture and traditions
- build social and cultural connections, community partnerships and leadership
- improve multicultural and multifaith community infrastructure
- better engage and support newly arrived migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum
- identify and respond to racial and religious intolerance and discrimination.
Grant programs are run throughout the year, with different application periods.
