Languages Grants

Since being established in March 2020, the Aboriginal Languages Trust has invested in a range of Aboriginal Community activities in NSW to reawaken, grow and nurture Aboriginal Languages. A complete list of successful Aboriginal Languages Community Investment Program recipients are available here:
