PFA launches 100k grant round for Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander & South Sea Islander People

Pride Foundation Australia (PFA) is proud to launch our first large grant round in our key funding area for Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and South Sea Islander people with a total funding pool of $100,000.

Grants awarded in this area will be between $5,000 to $20,000, for projects aiming to support sexuality, sex and gender diverse (LGBTQIA+) Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, South Sea Islander (ATSSSI) people in areas of cultural engagement and development, support for community connection, reducing social isolation, improving health and/or health literacy, supporting links to LGBTQIA+ services and supports, and improving LGBTQIA+ inclusive and culturally appropriate practices in services.

The Foundation is working closely with their ATSSSI advisory committee to develop and manage granting to support ATSSSI projects. The committee is made up of LGBTQIA+ ATSSSI people located all over Australia.

Applications for this grant are now open, can be submitted at anytime and will be assessed by the committee on a monthly rolling basis until the funding pool is exhausted.
