FYA: Seeding Strengths Grants - ROUND 2 NOW OPEN

Round 2 of the Seeding Strength Grants is up to $80k total of funding available in 2023, open to young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (16-35) and organisations. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander young people and their campaigns, movements and projects need financial backing to win campaigns, and achieve the self-determined, long term change they want to see. 

Seeding Strength is designed to shift resources through grant-making, increasing philanthropic connections and supporting initiatives to secure ongoing sustainable funding for long term change.

There are two types of grants offered in both rounds:

• Rapid response: First Nations young people (aged 16-35 years) can apply for rapid response grants of $2,000 to $10,000 for urgent campaigns/movements/initiatives relating to social change in response to systematic oppression & specific injustices of First Nations young people.

• Campaign, movement or project based: First Nations young people (aged 16-35 years) can apply for grants (from $2,000 to $50,000) to support core funding for existing or new campaigns, movements and projects in four impact areas:

  • Truthtelling and storytelling

  • Decolonising and re-Indigenising

  • Building and strengthening movements, campaigns and global solidarity

  • Facilitating vision creation
