Deadline: 29-Aug-2024
The Multicultural NSW is currently accepting applications for the COMPACT Partnership Project Grants.
COMPACT supports partnerships and collaboration between community, non-government, youth, sports, arts/media, industry, educational and other organisations by providing grant funding for innovative, evidence-based community projects.
Successful applications will ideally bring together partners or consortia with the demonstrated experience, expertise and capacity to engage and effect real positive change in young people (aged between 12-30), families and communities within a community resilience and conflict resolution frame.
They support partnerships that bring together grassroots organisations with larger well-established organisations to facilitate capacity building and cross-sector collaboration. They also welcome partnerships that bring local and global partners together to build the capacity of local communities. They especially encourage encourages applications that will secure in-kind resources, expertise and/or matched funding from private sector partners.
