Multicultural Community Amenities Grants in the Northern Territory

Overview

The Australian Government is inviting applications in an open process to apply to deliver services under the Mutual Understanding, Support, Tolerance, Engagement and Respect (MUSTER) Program – Multicultural Community Amenities Grants in the Northern Territory in 2020-21. This grant opportunity will support multicultural associations and organisations to develop their community facilities in the Northern Territory to ensure they are suitable for events and initiatives that may need to accommodate culturally specific requirements (such as appropriate kitchen facilities to avoid contamination between meat and vegetarian preparation areas). The intended outcomes of the grant opportunity are that: Improved amenities will help communities enjoy the use and benefit of shared community spaces that can accommodate their cultural needs. Existing Northern Territory multicultural services or community groups will be able to fully participate in social, economic and sporting life in the Northern Territory. The Australian Government announced a total of up to $2 million (GST exclusive) over one year for the 2020-21 financial year for the Multicultural Community Amenities Grants in the Northern Territory to help with greater social and economic participation. The minimum grant amount per application is $25,000 (GST exclusive). The maximum grant amount per application is $50,000 (GST exclusive). You may separately submit more than one application for each proposed project.
