Lesbians Incorporated has established a community grants program to give out up to $5,000 in grants per successful application for 2026. 

Eligible projects reflect the objectives of the Community Grants Program and fall within a category appropriate to the funding program. Categories are:

• Literary, visual or performing arts activities or functions
• Social functions
• Classes or workshops
• Production of information or resources for educational or promotional purposes
• Support groups or services
• Advisory services
• Sporting and recreational activities or functions
• Other appropriate activities or services approved by LInc

Applications are particularly encouraged from lesbians who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, lesbians with disabilities, lesbians from non-English speaking backgrounds and lesbians in non-metropolitan communities.

Eligibility

Individual lesbians or lesbian-based/lesbian-friendly non-profit organisations from throughout Australia are eligible to apply for funds. LInc is an inclusive organisation and supports those who identify as women, wom*n, trans-femme and femme identifying, or non-binary and all are welcome to apply for a grant. Projects creating and supporting spaces for lesbians, dykes, gay, bisexual, gender diverse, asexual and queer women are encouraged.

Lesbians Inc, grants are not available to assist businesses. If you are a sole trader/business and have an idea for a project, you may apply as long as the project shows a clear benefit to the LGBTQ+ community. Applicants will need to demonstrate expertise or experience relevant to the project.

Current members of the LInc Committee are ineligible for this program.
