A new round of festivals and events grants have been released for Victoria’s multicultural communities, including those in Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay, to celebrate, share and preserve their culture.
Regional communities will also benefit through the Regional Multicultural Festivals and Events Fund with more than $1 million available to support multicultural festivals and events in regional Victoria.
Multicultural Affairs Minister Colin Brooks announced the opening of the next round of grants on Friday, September 22, for communities to deliver events between January 1, and June 30, 2024.
“I’m so proud of the role the… program has played, and continues to play, in supporting Victorian festivals and events that showcase our state’s dynamic cultural diversity,” he said.
“I fully encourage organisations to apply for this funding that will help bring your events to life, as these events are contributors to our multicultural spirit and the richness of community life here in Victoria.”
Grants of up to $50,000 are available to organisations in metropolitan areas to host events that celebrate and showcase culture and strengthen Victoria’s vibrant multiculturalism.
There is no cap on funding requests for regional multicultural organisations.
Applications are open from September 21 until October 27.
