2026 NAIDOC Local Grants

Grant Description

The 2026 NAIDOC Local Grants support small to large-scale NAIDOC Week activities and events held across Australia between 1 July and 31 October 2026 that celebrate the histories, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Administered by the National Indigenous Australians Agency under the Indigenous Advancement Strategy, the grants provide co-contribution funding rather than full project costs, with funding of up to $25,000 (excluding GST) depending on the stream. The program prioritises Indigenous-led organisations and aims to strengthen cultural expression, participation, leadership and broader community understanding.
