The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (the Department) invites eligible applicants to submit applications for 2019 NAIDOC Grant Funding under the Indigenous Advancement Strategy (IAS).

The 2019 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.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous legal entities may apply for NAIDOC funding. Where both Indigenous and non-Indigenous organisations are found suitable preference will typically be given to the Indigenous organisation.   

Applicants must meet all eligibility criteria outlined in the IAS Grant Guidelines. An exception to this is state and territory agencies and bodies (including Government Business Enterprises) are not eligible to apply for NAIDOC grant funding. However, schools and correctional facilities are eligible. State and territory agencies and bodies may apply on behalf of a school or correctional facility. (For more information on the funding agreements for NSW and WA government schools, please see the Frequently Asked Questions in the 2019 NAIDOC Application Kit.) 

Community groups that may not be eligible to apply for funding are encouraged to consider partnering with an eligible organisation.
