FUNDING TYPE

Grant

CAN YOU GET THIS?

You need to be a nonprofit operating in Western Australia with a project that serves LGBTIQA+ communities.

Projects must align with either 'Belonging, connection and visibility' or 'Safety, equity and wellbeing' under WA's LGBTIQA+ Inclusion Strategy 2025–2035. Tier Two grants (up to $25,000) require a consortia/collaborative approach; Tier One grants (up to $10,000) are open to individual pilots and projects.

YOUR REAL ODDS

The 2025–26 round is closed; recipient lists have been published, confirming grants were awarded.

The program runs annually through the WA Department of Communities. Competition level is not specified in the source, but two tiers mean both smaller and larger collaborative organisations can apply.

WHAT IT TAKES

Check the Department of Communities site for the next round opening — 15 minutes
Confirm your project aligns with one of the two priority focus areas and your entity type is eligible — 1–2 hours
Prepare your application, including consortia details if applying for Tier Two — 1–2 weeks

WORTH KNOWING

Tier Two grants require a consortia approach, so partnering with other organisations before applying is a requirement, not just an advantage — build those relationships early.
