The Minns Labor Government is delivering on its commitment to improve the lives of people with disability with the launch of $1 million in local advocacy grants.
The NSW Government already delivers $12 million annually to 19 advocacy organisations across the State to assist people with disability better access services and supports.
This separate funding stream – up to $1 million for Special Purposes and Projects, and Sector Development grants – will help community groups and not-for-profit organisations provide more localised and innovative supports, in addition to the broader Disability Advocacy Futures Program.
One-off grants between $20,000 and $100,000 are available for projects and activities to assist people with disability and further develop the advocacy sector in NSW.
The Special Purposes and Projects, and Sector Development grant program has three key objectives:
Minister for Disability Inclusion Kate Washington said this funding demonstrates the Minns Labor Government’s commitment to improving accessibility and inclusion for people with disability.
“This grant program is about helping people with disability overcome barriers affecting their ability to fully participate in our community”, Ms Washington said.
“We want people with disability in NSW to be connected with organisations that can empower them with information and access.”
“This program will allow disability advocacy organisations to innovate and collaborate to support more people with disability to live full and fulfilling lives.”
