Anti-Racism Grants

Applications are open 

To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and Harmony Week, the Division of Equity Diversity & Inclusion is launching four anti-racism grants up to the value of $2,500 each to enable students and staff at UNSW to celebrate diversity and continue to improve our culture by bringing their ideas, events and activations to tackle racial discrimination, to life.

A panel appointed by EDI will select the successful grant recipients.

Students and staff could apply as individuals, but working as team is encouraged where possible to help in managing workload.

We encourage projects that will tackle racial discrimination and contribute to EDI’s mission to "instil equity, diversity and inclusion across the University and equip our community to contribute to a fair and just society". There are no constraints on the nature of the projects that may be undertaken with grant funding. They could be apps, events, workshops, educational tools etc.

The funds can be used for any goods or services that support the initiative outlined in your grant application (e.g. design costs, catering, room hire). Travel and salaries (e.g. Research Assistants) cannot be funded by the EDI Grants.

Any unspent funds by December 2024 will be returned to the Division of Equity Diversity & Inclusion.

The intellectual property created will remain with the grant winner. We ask that where possible you mention the Division of EDI at UNSW in relevant media generated by the project, and that we are able to celebrate any achievements of the project as part of our future communications.

EDI will provide funding of up to $2,500, assistance in paying invoices, updates on budget remaining, and a report template for the final report due in January 2025. We will be on hand to assist where we can with questions you may have. The rest is up to you!

Please email EDIComms@unsw.edu.au. We are happy to answer any questions on the Anti-Racism Grants program.

As part of Be A Better Human we we want to encourage everyone to do more when it comes to creating safe and respectful spaces (physical and digital) at UNSW – especially when it comes to preventing and responding to racism in our community.

There are no limits on the type of project you suggest – the grant could be used on events, creating new resources or publications, running webinars or workshops, action research, creative activities, and more.

Applications for the 2024 Anti-Racism Grants close on Friday 12 April 2024.
