Funding Opportunities

The Mansfield SIAG provided funding to 12 different community groups for 13 social inclusion initiatives in 2024 and are thrilled to present a chance to support social inclusion and connection initiatives aimed at enhancing inclusivity within our community in 2025.

We believe that by working together, we can make a significant impact fostering a culture of social inclusion, thereby enriching the experiences of community members from a diverse range of backgrounds. SIAG aims to increase social inclusivity in all groups including:

young people
single parents
people who are not in education, training or employment
people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Communities
refugees
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
people with a disability
LGBTQIA+ communities
older people

If you are part of a community group or not-for-profit, organising new or existing programs, we invite you to submit your funding request for consideration. Innovative and creative ideas that target the entire community will be highly valued and encouraged.
