Organisations and groups who serve Victoria’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex and queer communities will be able to apply for further funding to help them grow, as part of a new round of grants for LGBTIQ+ groups.


Minister for Equality Martin Foley last week announced applications were open for the LGBTIQ+ Organisational Development Grants. The program will allocate $700,000 to various LGBTIQ+ organisations and groups to strengthen the services they provide to Victoria’s diverse rainbow communities.
The grants will support the growth of established and emerging organisations, allowing them to continue their important role in driving equality for LGBTIQ+ Victorians, including LGBTIQ+ people with disabilities, LGBTIQ+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and those based in regional and rural areas.
Established organisations with demonstrated experience in supporting LGBTIQ+ communities can apply for grants of up to $50,000, and emerging organisations can apply for grants of up to $25,000.
Funding supports a range of activities including training to build the capacity of staff and volunteers, expanding operations into regional and rural areas and developing strategic plans to better engage diverse LGBTIQ+ communities. Organisations and groups can also use the funding to ensure their financial sustainability and strengthen their governance structures.
Applications are open until March 25 at www.vic.gov.au/lgbtiq-organisational-development-grants
