At Polaron Connect, we understand that even small amounts of funding can make a big difference. Our Micro-grant Program supports grassroots organisations and community groups who are working hard to improve the lives of newly arrived and culturally diverse communities. 

Since launching, we have proudly provided micro-grants to 22 organisations – helping them run projects, events and initiatives that build stronger, more inclusive communities.

What the program offers 

• Small grants to support community-led initiatives 

• Flexible funding that can be used for events, activities, or resources that directly benefit local communities 

• A simple, accessible application process for eligible organisations 

Who can apply 

Community and not-for-profit organisations that: 

• Work with newly arrived, migrant or refugee communities 

• Have a project, idea or event that would benefit from additional support 

• Can demonstrate community impact and sustainability 

How to apply 

Applications are submitted through a simple online form, where you’ll be asked to describe your community project or event, the impact it will have, and how the grant will support your work. 

Our team carefully reviews all applications and will notify successful applicants. 

Applications for the next round of micro-grants will open soon.
