Organisations can apply for up to $20,000 and must comply with an assessment criteria which includes showing how their project will directly benefit the LGBTI community.

WIO executive officer Susan Ditter said the grants were a fantastic and unique initiative that had proven benefits in the community.
“These grants are very unique in that they provide an opportunity for both mainstream and LGBTI organisations, to apply for money that will specifically benefit the LGBTI community,” she said.
“Grants like this make a big difference because it gets mainstream organisations thinking about issues that need to be addressed.
“It makes a really big difference for positive change in the community.”
Applications for the program will close at 5pm on Friday, March 2.

Being a health reporter to me is about more than just reporting the problems. It's about asking why they are happening in the first place and what needs to change to fix it.
