Aboriginal not-for-profit organisations from across Western Australia are invited to apply for a share of $250,000 in grants to support the protection, preservation and promotion of Aboriginal sites.
The funding will be provided through the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage’s Preserving our Aboriginal Sites Grants Program, which was established to empower Aboriginal people to better manage Western Australia’s unique Aboriginal heritage.
This round of funding will see the total provided through the program exceed $1 million. Previously funded projects include graffiti removal from rock art sites, installation of fences to protect restricted sites, and interpretation projects to promote awareness of Aboriginal heritage.
A maximum of $30,000 per application is available. Applications close at 4pm on Wednesday February 14, 2018. For more information, visit http://www.daa.wa.gov.au
