A record grants pool of $750,000 is open to Aboriginal organisations to undertake cultural heritage projects at registered Aboriginal sites.
The 2023-24 Preserve, Promote and Protect our Aboriginal Sites Grants Program aims to empower Aboriginal people in managing their unique cultural heritage.
Grants of up to $50,000 are available for Aboriginal not-for profit organisations to undertake on-the-ground works that protect and preserve Aboriginal sites, promote Aboriginal cultural heritage and provide social and economic benefits to local communities.
The program is funded by the Western Australian Government through the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH).
Grants can be used for projects such as remediation of registered Aboriginal sites, development and installation of interpretive and truth-telling signage, and employment and training opportunities for Aboriginal people in delivering on-the-ground projects.
Before applying, contact the DPLH to discuss your project by phone on 6551 8002 or email HeritageGrants@dplh.wa.gov.au.
Applications close on Friday, 29 March 2024.
