Multicultural Connect Grants Program

The Multicultural Connect Grants Program supports capital infrastructure projects that involve building or upgrading permanent community spaces in Queensland.

• Strengthen social cohesion by supporting safe, accessible and adaptable facilities

Grant funding of up to $500,000 is available. The total funding pool is $1.25 million.

Funding is available on a 1:1 cash contribution basis.

Applicants must:

• Be based in Queensland
• Have no overdue reports, service delivery or performance issues for funding received from Multicultural Affairs Queensland
