Indigenous Advancement Strategy – Advance notice of forthcoming 2019 NAIDOC Grant Opportunity
The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (the Department) invites eligible applicants to submit applications for NAIDOC grant funding under the Indigenous Advancement Strategy (IAS).
The NAIDOC grant funding round aims to support activities being held during NAIDOC Week 2019 (7-14 July) that celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, achievements and continuing contributions to our country and society.
The 2019 NAIDOC local grant round provides grant funding to Indigenous and non-Indigenous organisations to contribute to the costs of local and regional NAIDOC activities across Australia. The program is important in contributing to the Australian Government’s commitment to support, and raise awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture within the wider community.
The program’s intended outcomes are to:
- increase awareness and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and contributions to modern Australia
-
support Indigenous and non-Indigenous organisations to come together as part of reconciliation to celebrate local, regional and national achievements in their communities.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to align their project with the annual NAIDOC theme. The National NAIDOC Theme for 2019 is ‘Voice Treaty Truth, Let’s Work Together for A Shared Future’. For more information about this theme visit www.naidoc.org.au.
