About the Community Grants ProgramAims of the Community Grants Program

Victoria has a long and successful history of migration and the resulting multicultural diversity is one of our fundamental strengths, contributing to our quality of life. The Victorian Government Community Grants Program aims to build upon our existing strengths by promoting unity and social cohesion through inclusive citizenship.

The Victorian Government aims to strengthen the capacity of culturally, linguistically and religiously diverse organisations to participate in and influence their local communities and to enjoy the benefits available to them as members of society. This program aims to support the needs of multicultural communities and promote Victoria’s multicultural and multifaith society.

Who can apply?

Multicultural community not-for-profit and non-political organisations that:

(a) Are incorporated under the Australian Corporations Act or as an Association under the Associations Incorporation Act and have an Australian Business Number (ABN) as not-for-profit; or

(b) Are ‘auspiced’ by an incorporated organisation to manage the grant funds. The incorporated organisation will act as the ‘auspice’ organisation for the application and that organisation’s details must be provided in the application form;

(c) Strengthen the capacity of culturally, linguistically and religiously diverse communities;

(d) Promote and celebrate culture and language in a way that is inclusive to the whole community; and

(e) Have satisfactorily acquitted all previous grants from the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship (OMAC) and the Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC).
