To be considered for funding in this category, your project will meet a minimum of two of the following criteria (one mandatory plus one additional):
Mandatory (projects must meet this criteria):
• Provide opportunities for community to participate in a local, community-led 16 Days of Activism event or initiative. Initiatives must highlight the importance of 16 Days of Activism and why the campaign exists.
Optional (projects must meet at least one of these criteria):
• Create volunteer opportunities.
• Build on existing community strengths and opportunities.
• Strengthen social connection, a sense of belonging and inclusion.
• Community events that build a shared vision and goals for a local community.
Note:
• Projects can apply for up to $1500 through the Connected and Vibrant Communities category. Applicants will need to demonstrate how the 16 Days of Activism event will raise awareness of gender-based violence in the wider community.
• If successful, applicants will still be eligible to apply for funding through the Monthly Grants program, in addition to a 16 Days of Activism grant.
• The projects need to take place during 16 Days of Activism (25 November – 10 December 2024)
