[Edited extract from public address]

Community organisations in rural and regional Victoria can now apply for funding to develop projects that help to prevent violent extremism and tackle factors that cause community division. 

Between $30,000 and $120,000 funding is available per application.

Projects should respond to one of the following aims:

1. Develop innovative projects and partnerships which address the conditions that underlie violent extremism
2. Respond to tensions caused by right wing, ISIS-inspired and other violent extremist narratives
3. Enable critical and constructive dialogue about factors that undermine social cohesion and may lead to violent extremism.

Who: Community organisations can partner with peak bodies, local councils and universities. Projects should be community or youth-led.
