Grant Description

The Western Sydney First Nations Program provides funding from $10,000 to $100,000 to support First Nations artists, creatives, collectives and First Nations-led organisations in Western Sydney. Administered by Create NSW, the program strengthens First Nations arts, culture and creative practice, aligns with the NSW Creative Communities policy and the Plan for Western Sydney Art, Cultural and Creative Industries 2025–2028, and supports Closing the Gap targets for economic participation and cultural wellbeing.
