NSW Aboriginal Land Council Opens the 2018 Round of Statewide Grants

The NSW Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) is pleased to announce that applications are now being sought for the 2018 round of NSWALC Statewide Grants.

The NSWALC Statewide Grants Program

The NSWALC Statewide Grants program provides grants for organisations and events of statewide significance, that support and promote Aboriginal culture and/or sporting achievement.

The NSW Aboriginal Land Council provides the grants each year to to protect our culture and heritage and to support our people - two core goals in NSWALC'S Strategic Plan 2018-2022.

Councillors understand that a thriving culture is a major priority for communities, and sport helps develop healthy lives, commitment and pursuit of excellence.

Successful grants will support and promote either or both of these areas, and have state-wide Aboriginal participation.

Activities that do not have state-wide participation and support and promote Aboriginal culture and/or sporting achievement will not be funded under the Statewide Grants component.

The NSWALC 2018-19 Statewide Grants Policy Procedure outlines what the grants can be used for, and on what basis grant applications will be assessed.
