A bumper number of cultural events and festivals have been scheduled between now and January 2023 with support from a record $1 million investment by the NSW Government.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than 160 community groups have been awarded a share in $1.09 million through the NSW Government\u2019s Stronger Together Grants Program to host local cultural events and festivals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Minister for Multiculturalism Mark Coure said this investment has been made possible thanks to the $28 million multi-year funding that had been secured through the 2022-23 NSW Budget.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time we have been able to fund this many events at one time,\u201d Mr Coure said.<\/span><\/p>\n

These events and festivals are just what NSW needs to help celebrate our diverse communities and bring people together in family-friendly environments,\u201d Mr Coure said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile bringing people together they will also help break down barriers between cultures and build mutual understanding and respect of each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Groups that applied for funding were awarded between $5,000 and $15,000 to host their events.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are about to see a great many cultural events happen soon, including mid-Autumn festivals. The Korean Community Welfare Association for example will use $15,000 to host a Korean Moon Festival, which will help reconnect their community with activities,\u201d Mr Coure said.<\/span><\/p>\n

From today (Monday, 1 August), community groups will also be able to apply for grants through the Stronger Together Project Grants. Funding between $20,000 and $40,000 is on offer to groups wanting to develop projects that help drive social cohesion in their local area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Funding will be available for projects delivered between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2023. Applications for these\u00a0grants will be open until 5pm Friday, 26 August. More information about the grants can be found at\u00a0https:\/\/multicultural.nsw.gov.au\/grants<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
