The program aims to support projects that reawaken, grow, nurture, promote and raise awareness of Aboriginal languages in communities across NSW.
The Aboriginal Languages Trust is investing $800,000 in local Aboriginal community groups and organisations who have a focus on delivering:
- Aboriginal language activities
- building workforce capability
- promoting the appreciation and use of Aboriginal languages.
The open round grants program is offering funding across 3 categories:
Reawaken (supports projects that encourage the development of new or emerging language activities) - up to $20,000
Grow (supports existing projects to expand and develop the capacity of groups or organisations) - up to $50,000
Nurture (provides support to build the strategic capacity of more established groups or organisations) - up to $90,000.
To apply for the program, organisations must be a not-for-profit incorporated Aboriginal Controlled Organisation located in NSW.
Applications for the program open Monday 1 February 2021 and close Friday 12 March 2021.
