About Expand Together Grants
The Expand Together Grants are administered by Multicultural Affairs within the
Department of the Premier and Cabinet.
The grants provide one-off funding to eligible multicultural organisations to purchase equipment and upgrade, extend or build community facilities for use by South Australia’s culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
The Expand Together Grants aim to ensure there are necessary facilities and equipment for community members to come together, access the services and programs they need, and connect with the wider local community network.
Expand Together Grants of up to $100 000 are available to multicultural organisations for projects to be delivered over 12 months.
There are matched funding requirements for applicants requesting more than $50 000.
There will be two rounds of Expand Together. Round 1 projects will commence in
July 2024, and Round 2 projects will commence in February 2025.
Multicultural Affairs will only accept one application per round for the Expand Together Grants per organisation. Organisations with regional offices can submit one application per regional office.
Key multicultural service providers, who have a direct responsibility working with
culturally and linguistically diverse communities, can apply up to two times per round, as a lead agency in partnership with one or more multicultural community organisations.
An organisation can only receive funding once in 2024-25.
Outcomes
The Expand Together Grants invest in multicultural organisations to achieve one or
more of the following outcomes:
- Increase the use and access of community facilities and equipment by culturally
and linguistically diverse communities to support participation in activities, and
the delivery of services, to meet community need - Support new and emerging communities who may have difficulties in accessing
community infrastructure and equipment readily, and
foster partnerships (financial or non-financial) between culturally and
linguistically diverse communities through shared use of facilities and
equipment.
