Grants Links
Laurie Ferguson has advised of new Community Grants -- Diverse Australia Program (DAP) and National Action Plan (NAP) – to build on Social Cohesion, Harmony and Security.
Applications for NAP will be part of the DAP funding Round. Smaller grants up to $5000 that were a success last year are again available – i.e. to build the capacity of smaller organisations to implement community relations projects and manage gov funding.
Grants between $5000 and $50,000 are available for major projects.
See www.harmony.gov.au
for further info on NAP see www.immi.gov.au/nap

Grants are available from numerous areas these are only some that John has found that may be of assistance to you. You may always contact your local Council to gain further information on what assistance they can provide in seeking grants or philanthropic organisations that may be interested in supporting you or your community in your future endeavours.
