The Inclusive Communities Grant - Extended Program (Round 2) invites applications from eligible businesses (including hospitality) and not-for-profit organisations to host public-facing events and activities in celebration of Pride Month. Pride Month is celebrated annually from 1 to 30 June. It marks an important moment in the LGBTQIA+ rights movement, the 1969 Stonewall Uprising. Pride Month is a celebration of LGBTQIA+ culture and community, and an opportunity to promote connection, inclusion, and belonging.
The aim of the Inclusive Community Grant – Extended Program is to support local businesses and not-for-profit organisations to host a public-facing event in celebration of Pride Month in 2026.
The Program seeks to:
celebrate LGBTQIA+ identities, culture and diversity
meaningfully include LGBTQIA+ people
create safe, inclusive spaces for connection and shared experiences
be accessible (eg cost, location, disability access, language, age, cultural safety)
promote acceptance, equality and respect
encourage positive attitude change
The Inclusive Community Grant – Extended Program aligns with Council’s Social Inclusion Strategy to create a thriving community, where everyone belongs.
Funding supports projects that primarily benefit residents and visitors of the Lane Cove Local Government Area (LGA). Applicants are expected to provide a financial co-contribution, reflecting a shared investment in the project.
The total funding pool for this funding program is $5,000. Individual grant amounts will be determined by Council based on the quality of applications received. Council will co-fund up to 50% of eligible program costs. Grant funding will be paid by way of reimbursement on completion of the event and on presentation of a valid receipt showing payment of agreed program costs.
