The funding agreement outlines:
- the grant terms and conditions, including use of funds
- key deliverables and due dates
- reporting requirements, including providing all invoices and receipts for purchases and training.
The department makes grant payments according to set milestone deliverables. The milestones are set out in the funding agreement.
The department will publish successful applicant details, including organisation name, project name and grant funding provided on Multicultural Media Grants Program webpage
Your organisation must use all funds during the activity period by 31 December 2025, as outlined in the funding agreement. Also, your organisation must meet any funding conditions set out in the letter of offer or funding agreement.
Failure to meet these requirements may mean your organisation has to return funding to the department.
If successful in receiving funding, your organisation needs to submit a final report to outline what has been delivered.
