There is $4.2 million a year available through the Ethnic Communities Development Fund. The fund is available for projects that support ethnic communities to grow their skills, celebrate their culture and take part in society.

The priorities of the Ethnic Communities Development Fund have been suspended until further notice. There are new, realigned priorities to support ethnic communities while they navigate the impacts of COVID-19.

The fund is now available for projects or activities that provide alternative means of staying socially connected, employment initiatives, and community resilience and recovery. 

How to apply for funding, the sorts of projects funded and where you can get help is provided via the below link:
