Celebrating reconciliation
GROUPS who want to host a local event to celebrate National Reconciliation Week next year can now apply for a grant of up to $2500.
The 2027 Celebrating Reconciliation Grants program supports organisations that organise an event to mark the week which is celebrated between 27 May to 3 June.
With a total of $100,000 available, the funding aims to support practical reconciliation in metropolitan and remote Queensland and strengthen relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Queenslanders.
The grants support local events and activities including yarning circles, community gatherings, storytelling events and cultural workshops which promote understanding and respect between Queenslanders of all cultural backgrounds.
“These grants support organisations to unite communities, promote respect, share stories, and celebrate the oldest continuous living culture,” Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships Fiona Simpson said.
“Reconciliation is about acknowledging the significant heritage of our First Peoples and the importance of deepening our shared understanding.”
Applications close on 18 December. For more information, including eligibility criteria, and to apply, visit https://www.qld.gov.au/recgrants
