The Government of South Australia is seeking applications for its Expand Together Grants to provide one-off funding to eligible multicultural organisations to upgrade, extend or build community facilities or purchase equipment for use by South Australia’s culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
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 network of the local community.
Categories
- There are two categories of grants under the Expand Together Grants.
- Infrastructure Grants of up to $100,000 (One hundred thousand dollars only) and
- Equipment Grants of up to $20,000 (Twenty thousand dollars only) are available to multicultural organisations for projects to be delivered over 12 months, commencing in September 2021.
- There are matched funding requirements for applicants requesting more than $20,000.

- support new and emerging communities who may have difficulties in accessing community infrastructure and equipment readily
- foster partnerships (financial or non-financial) between culturally and linguistically diverse communities through shared use of facilities and equipment.
