Seeding Strength Grants

Seeding Strength Grants provide funding to young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and First Nations-led organisations, campaigns, movements and projects fighting injustice and building Blak power across the country.

Applications for Rapid Response grants are open all year round and the application process is streamlined. Submit an application via the Seeding Strength application form and they’ll make initial contact within a week, but allow a month for the turn around of funds if successful. They will aim to get them to you as soon as possible.
