Securing Faith-Based Places
What do you get?
Grants from $25,000 to $500,000.
Who is this for?
Faith-based places at risk of crime and violence motivated by religious or racial intolerance.
Overview
The Securing Faith-Based Places grant opportunity aims to assist faith-based places and spaces to improve security and safety.
The objective of the program is to support religious schools and pre-schools, places of worship and faith-based community centres to address the risk of crime and violence motivated by religious or racial intolerance through the installation or upgrade of security infrastructure and/or the engagement of security guards at those sites.
The intended outcomes of the program are to:
- enable faith-based communities to undertake activities safely and free from harassment
- deter crime and violence at faith-based places
- improve safety within faith-based communities when attending faith-based places, and
- contribute to greater community resilience and wellbeing.
Eligible activities must directly relate to the improvement of security measures at a religious school, pre-school, place of worship or faith-based community centre that is facing security risks associated with religious and/or racial intolerance.
You must provide supporting information confirming that the crime and violence is religiously or racially motivated.
Grants available are between $25,000 and $500,000.
The grant amount will be up to 100% of eligible project costs.
