Eligible organisations can apply for grants of between $5,000 and $15,000 for festivities that celebrate and embrace NSW’s vibrant cultural diversity through the Stronger Together Grants Program
Every year hundreds of grassroots not-for-profit organisations across NSW use the Festival and Event grants to celebrate members’ cultural heritage and share food, music and festivities with the wider community while boosting their local economy.
Funding is available for festivals and events planned between August 2023 and February 2024.
Multicultural NSW administers the grants on behalf of the NSW Government.
Grant applications close on Friday, 28 April (3pm) and an information session is planned for 19 April (11am).

Joseph La Posta, CEO of Multicultural NSW, said: “Grassroots community groups are the lifeblood of NSW’s reputation as one of the world’s most successful multicultural states.
In every suburb, in every town, you’ll find evidence of this success, which is why we at Multicultural NSW are proud to continue a strong tradition of empowering those within their communities to bring their cultures to light for all to share and enjoy.
A community’s riches are not just counted in dollar terms, but also in how its members share and embrace the differences of all around them.”
