Sponsorship Grants

Sponsorship grants are for special events such as annual festivals and major cultural events. This category will open again in December 2009 and April 2010. Applications must be submitted three months before the scheduled event.

The purpose of this category is to provide public support for an event or an occasion by the New South Wales Government through the Community Relations Commission. It will also promote the Commissions responsibility and the commitment of the Government of New South Wales to multiculturalism and the value of cultural diversity.

Examples of projects supported by funding in this category are:

• the hosting of seminars and conferences
• multicultural and inter-community forums
• local festivals and events
• teaching craft skills to target groups from a culturally diverse background.

The Commission will not accept sponsorship grant requests outside the funding periods. Funding of up to $5,000 is available in this category.
