The Aboriginal Languages Trust is investing $800,000 in Aboriginal local community groups and organisations who have a community focus on delivering Aboriginal language activities, building workforce capability and promoting the appreciation and use of Aboriginal Languages.
Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Don Harwin urged not-for-profit incorporated Aboriginal community-controlled organisations to apply, as part of state-based efforts to support languages revitalisation.
The Aboriginal Languages Community Investments Program 2021 is an open round grants program offering a total of $800,000 across three categories to support different project aims including 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 and nurture (provides support to build the strategic capacity of more established groups or organisations) – up to $90,000
The Aboriginal Languages Trust was formed in 2020 as part of the Aboriginal Languages Act 2017 to provide a focused, coordinated and sustained effort in relation to Aboriginal language activities at local, regional and state levels.
“There’s an incredible range of Aboriginal language activities underway across NSW and that’s exactly what the trust is here to support,” Trust Board Chairperson Jason said
“Whether it’s about help to create new resources, developing team capacity or strengthening existing programs, we want to hear from the passionate groups that are driving use of their languages across their community and support them to widen this even further,” Trust Board Chairperson Jason said
Applications for the Aboriginal Languages Community Investments Program 2021 funding round open Monday 1 February 2021 and close Friday 12 March 2021, for projects delivered during 2021 and up to 30 June 2022.

The Heart Foundation has up to ten $10,000 grants for new, innovative programs that get more people
moving in schools, universities or local community groups.
The HF is encouraging community groups, councils, schools (primary and secondary), tertiary institutions
(universities, TAFEs, colleges), and other organisations to come up with an innovative idea to encourage
physical activity in a chosen group or community.
Community members/individuals will need to either hold a current Australian Business Number (ABN) or
partner with an eligible entity (one that holds a current ABN) for the project to be considered eligible, and to
enable a funding agreement to be executed.
The Heart Foundation strongly encourages innovative projects that specifically support people not
meeting Australia’s Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines, people at risk of chronic
disease, and people living in communities with high levels of physical inactivity, including rural and remote
regions. This includes people identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and people with culturally
and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
Grant ideas (based on previous years’ winners) include:
• Dance classes
• Exercising using virtual reality technology
• Surfing lessons for children with autism
• Engaging special interest groups (eg. Scouts and girl guides)
• Guided bicycle tours for young people
• Silent disco in aged care
• Free play resources (toys etc) in a portable trailer
• Walking/cycling ‘school buses’
Do you or someone you know want to make a difference for young people in your community by supporting them to navigate challenges related to employment, mental health, or transportation?
We’ve just launched a brand new grants program that will back projects to do just that. Here’s what you need to know.
The Youth Action Project Grant Scheme (YAPGS), through a partnership between the Australian Government Department of Health and FYA, is offering up to $950,000 (inc. GST) of funding to projects helping 15 to 24-year-olds navigate key economic and wellbeing issues.
Grants of between $5,000 and $20,000 will be allocated to new and existing projects that aid young people as they recover from the impact of crises such as the Australian bushfires, COVID-19, and ongoing challenges to their employment, mental health, or transportation.
Along with receiving funding, successful applicants will join two online capacity building summits and access weekly workshops – not to mention a community of peer support!
