FAITH groups across Granville are encouraged to apply for a share of $5M to make their places of worship and commemoration safer and more secure.
They will be able to apply for grants of $5,000 to $250,000 under the Safe Places for Faith Communities program which are now open.
This new grant round gives those who missed out in the previous funding round and new applicants a chance to apply for funding to be used anywhere in NSW at eligible faith-based centres including places of worship, seminaries, religious museums, religious community centres, religious retreats and places of religious significance.
The program takes a holistic approach to safety and security by supporting community preparedness, wellbeing, and resilience, as well as more traditional protective security measures at places where faith communities gather.
An information session will be held online on Monday, November18 2024 at 4pm. To register for the information session email safeplacesgrants@multicultural.nsw.gov.au by Friday 15 November.
