The Minns Labor Government has announced $400,000 to support grass roots projects that make a lasting positive impact in our multicultural state.
Through Multicultural NSW’s Stronger Together Project Grants program, local organisations can apply for grants between $20,000 and $50,000 for projects that foster community harmony and build capability in culturally diverse communities.
The Government is seeking applications from community-led projects that:
-
assist with overcoming language barriers
-
deliver programs or services to multicultural communities
-
build capability and resources for diverse communities
-
assist people who have recently arrived in NSW
-
build intercultural and interfaith networks, strengthening community resilience
Funding is for projects that will be rolled out from 1 January to 31 December 2026. Applications are now open and will close at 5pm on Monday 15 September.

Member for Parramatta Donna Davis said:
"Small community groups and associations are vital for building harmony and tackling grassroots challenges here in Parramatta.
“It’s great to see the Government backing organisations and projects that create real change from the ground up.”
Minister for Multiculturalism Steve Kamper said:
“Diversity flourishes when communities lead the way through grassroots efforts.
“This program empowers local groups to create meaningful change in their communities, so people from different cultures and faiths can thrive.
“If you’ve got a project that will make a positive impact for people from culturally diverse backgrounds, get your application in now.
“Every community has its own unique way of enriching cultural diversity in NSW, and I’m proud we can support those efforts through this program.”
