My organisation has previously received a Multicultural Arts and Festival grant. Can I apply for a grant to run a multicultural arts and festival event? Grants for arts and festivals events will no longer be supported through a separate Multicultural Arts and Festivals grant opportunity. However, a multicultural arts and festival event will be eligible for funding under Community Resilience grants if it forms part of a wider project proposal. This means you can: apply for a project that meets the objectives of the Community Resilience program and include a small multicultural event, or partner with another eligible organisation that is applying to deliver a project and conduct a small event as part of that project. Up to $7,500 of your total project budget can be used for a multicultural arts and festivals event.
