Participation for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Seniors- New Small Grants Program

A new small grants program to create or expand opportunities for isolated culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) seniors to participate in the community is now open.

As part of the Victorian Government’s Participation for CALD Seniors Grants Program, eligible organisations can apply for up to $10,000 to help generate opportunities for socially isolated CALD seniors to engage in their communities.  The grants program will have four grant rounds over four years.

The first round is now open for applications until 27 April 2012.
