Multicultural NSW Grants Programs

We invest in initiatives that foster community harmony, celebrate cultural diversity and build socially cohesive communities.

The more connected a community is, the stronger it is in the face of adversity. We want to help local communities connect and thrive. Multicultural NSW offers a range of grants to assist programs and activities that promote the vibrancy of NSW and celebrate our diverse communities.

Our grant programs empower communities across NSW to deliver:
• festivals and events that build social cohesion and community harmony
• grassroots community projects that will have a lasting community impact
• community-driven emergency relief activities.

Festival and Event Grants

The Festival and Event Grants program invests in community and aims to build social cohesion by supporting multicultural festivals and events across NSW.

The program seeks to fund festivals and events that engage with a broad range of communities, foster community harmony and celebrate cultural diversity as a precious part of our identity and way of life.

In 2021/22 more than 110 festivals and events were supported by Multicultural NSW grant funding.
