Deadline: 31-Aug-22
The Government of South Australia is inviting applications for the Expand Together Grants.
The Expand Together Grants aim to ensure there are necessary facilities and equipment for community members to come together, access the services and programs they need, and connect with the wider local community network.
The priority for this round is investment in security upgrades, community infrastructure and community transport.
Categories
There are three categories of grants in this round of Expand Together Grants available to multicultural organisations for projects to be delivered over 12 months, commencing in December 2022.

Eligible projects
- Infrastructure Grants: Upgrade, extend or build community infrastructure and facilities
- Security Upgrades and Community Transport: Security upgrades of community infrastructure and/or the purchase of community transport (buses and vans)
