A series of community grant information and grant writing sessions will be held across Victoria

These sessions will support applicants to understand the Multicultural Festival and Events (MFE) 2020-2021 Round One Program and to develop quality applications for cultural celebrations, festivals and events held between 1 July 2020 - 31 December 2020.

Each session will cover:

• general information about the purpose of the program

• assessment process

• an opportunity to ask questions.

This will be followed by an optional presentation about grant writing basics and government funding tailored to new applicants and applicants from new and emerging communities.
