• venues that will be used to host a range of multicultural events

• meeting places to encourage development, expression and promotion of multicultural diversity

• premises available for use by all Territorians irrespective of their cultural and linguistic background

Grants open for application on 1 April and close on 30 April every year. Prior to submitting an application, please read the MCFG guidelines carefully.
