About the grant program

Eligible incorporated not-for-profit NSW multicultural organisations can apply for grants from $20,000 to $150,000. Successful grant applicants must build the capability of multicultural communities to recognise and respond to domestic, family and sexual violence.

Grant applications are open from 9am 13 February 2023 until 5pm 27 March 2023.
