A community grants program is aiming to strengthen capacity of the LGBTIQA+ community.
The LGBTIQA+ Community Grants program will promote inclusion and dignity and improve access to services and participation for LGBTIQA+ Tasmanians.
Minister for Community Services, Roger Jaensch, said community organisations, tertiary institutions and local government can apply for funding of up to $30,000 in each of two streams.
"The Tasmanian Government is committed to fostering an inclusive community where all Tasmanians are treated with dignity and respect and have equal opportunities to engage in Tasmanian life," Minister Jaensch said.
"This builds on our commitment to developing an LGBTIQA+ action plan for the State, with a total of $500,000 allocated over two years to support LGBTIQA+ Tasmanians.
"Our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future is all about making Tasmania the best place to live, work and raise a family. These grants are about helping achieve that."
The program opens for applications during TasPride Summer Festival on 4 February 2025.
"Through funding from last year's grants, this year's festival has been able to expand to offer more events in regional and rural communities," Minister Jaensch said
Applications for the 2025 program close on 18 March 2025.
