Community Relations Funding

Community Relations Funding is now available to help incorporated non-profit organisations address issues of cultural, racial and religious intolerance.

Projects should target all people living in a community or local government area to promote respect, fairness, inclusion and a sense of belonging for everyone.

Amounts of up to $5,000 will be available to organisations for activities such as community events, forums and information sessions that promote tolerance in the community.

Applications must be lodged with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship by 6pm Eastern Standard Time, 23 May, 2008.
