Deadline: 3-Jan-21
The Mardi Gras and Google Parade Grants are designed to support entries that make a significant and meaningful contribution to the LGBTQI+ community by providing funding to individuals, community groups and not-for-profit organisations.
Ensuring parade entries are as eye-catching and attention-grabbing as possible, so that organisations can deliver their messages loudly, proudly and clearly during the 2021 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade.
Grants are targeted to help create a “wow” experience rather than to fund basic amenities for your Parade entry.
