The 2020 Multicultural Media Grants Program is a one-year program that delivers on a Victorian Government election commitment to support the vital role multicultural media organisations play in keeping multicultural communities informed, connected and supported.
The program is timely in supporting multicultural media outlets through these challenging times of responding to the impacts of COVID-19.
There are close to 200 multicultural media outlets in Victoria, with each providing a valuable service to their communities and helping them stay connected.
This has been particularly crucial as we deal with the coronavirus pandemic.
Victoria is a proudly multicultural state, with almost every second person either born overseas or the child of a someone born overseas.
Victorians come from more than 200 countries, speak more than 260 languages and dialects and 26 per cent of Victorians speak another language other than English at home.
Grants available
Small grants – $2,000 to $9,999
Major grants - $9,999 to $25,000
Under the small grants stream, outlets can apply for between $2,000 and $9,999, while funding of between $10,000 to $25,000 is available under the major grants stream.
