Deadline: 28-Oct-22
The PFA board of directors and the aurora group are pleased to announce a joint grant round, to the value of $20,000.
The Pride Foundation Australia x Aurora Partnership Grant will focus on funding projects which address mental health in LGBTIQ+ communities and/or that benefit LGBTIQ+ people with disability.
The priority will be given to non-HIV/AIDS projects such as mental health, ageing support, social support and education services where other funding opportunities are limited. They specifically encourage applications from projects that are not currently funded, supporting marginalised and underrepresented populations.
As Aurora currently raises funds from NSW-based events, they must give priority to NSW-based projects or national projects that demonstrate benefits for LGBTIQ+ communities within NSW.
Eligible Projects
- Projects must be specifically focused on at least one of the following Australian LGBTIQA+ groups:
- Indigenous peoples
- People from culturally & linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALD)
- Trans and gender diverse communities
- People with disability
- People from rural, regional and/or remote communities
- Youth (under 35s)
- Older LGBTIQ+ people, including those living in aged care.
