The New South Wales Government’s Stronger Together program is set to provide $400,000 to community organisations to improve social cohesion and empower cross-cultural collaboration.
Non-profit groups across New South Wales are encouraged to apply for a share in the funding pool to help deliver projects that break down language barriers, boost skills across diverse communities, support cross-cultural collaboration, help new arrivals thrive and build community resilience.
The project grants funding ranges from $20,000 to $50,000 for delivery during 2025.
The Stronger Together Project Grant program opened on 27 August 2024 and supports projects that can make a lasting positive impact on social cohesion and meet community needs.
Multicultural NSW will hold an online information session about the program on 4 September and the grant program closes on 20 September 2024.
New South Wales Minister for Multiculturalism, Steve Kamper, said that grassroots organisations are best placed to deliver projects in their communities that help strengthen community resilience and social cohesion.”
“From Bourke to Albury, the Tweed and right across Sydney, there are organisations that have projects that impact their local communities and I’m proud to be able to support them as they work together to embrace the ideals of multiculturalism,” Minister Kamper said.
“Now, more than ever, it’s so important to support our successful multicultural society.”
