The Pride Foundation Australia (PFA) is proud to announce their second grant round for 2024, with a total funding pool of $10,000 with a focus on supporting sexuality, sex and gender diverse (LGBTQIA+) people living in regional and rural areas of Australia.

Grant applications should be to the value of up to $10,000 for up to two years (if applicable).

Projects that collaborate between rural services and LGBTQIA+ agencies or groups are encouraged. Where an LGBTQIA+-led group is partnering with another organisation, PFA encourages equal partnership and co-design.

• Improving LGBTQIA+ inclusive practice in services, particularly relating to mental health, suicide prevention, housing, or family violence
• Improving access to inclusive health, legal, social and other services
• Enhancing support for community connection and reducing social isolation.
