Celebrating Diversity Grant
Every child deserves to feel welcome, valued, and included in their early learning journey. The Celebrating Diversity Grant supports early childhood education and care (ECEC) services across Victoria to create inclusive environments where all children can thrive and belong. We recognise that every community is unique, with its own strengths, cultures, and needs. This grant encourages locally driven initiatives that celebrate diversity in ways that are meaningful to each setting. By supporting context-specific, inclusive practices, we can help ensure that every child grows up in a space that respects and nurtures who they are.
To do this, AGECS is funding grants of up to $1,000. The funds may be used for projects, material resources or professional learning, but cannot be used for salaries or back-fill for staff.
