Local community organisations planning events which foster community harmony are encouraged to apply for the next round of Multicultural NSW’s Stronger Together Program.
Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke said the NSW Government is committed to supporting eligible grassroots organisations with projects designed to celebrate our cultural diversity.
“Multicultural events and festivals are a great way to recognise the cultural diversity in our communities and bring people together in family-friendly environments,” Ms Cooke said.
“While bringing people together they will also help break down barriers between cultures and build mutual understanding and respect of each other.”
Funding of between $20,000 and $40,000 is now available to groups wanting to develop projects that help drive social cohesion in their local area.
Funding will be available for projects to be delivered between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2023.
Applications for these grants opened on Monday, 1 August and will close at 5pm Friday, 26 August.
