Harmony Week is a national celebration to recognise diversity and support inclusion activities that take place during the week (Monday to Sunday) that includes 21 March, which is the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The continuing Harmony Day message that ‘Everyone Belongs’ is promoted each year through participation in community events and projects that demonstrate inclusiveness, a sense of belonging and respect for everyone.

The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) administers Harmony Grants. The aim of Harmony Grants is to provide funds towards initiatives that promote sharing and celebrating the Northern Territory’s rich cultural diversity.

This also includes funding to take part in the Darwin Waterfront Harmony Soiree, which usually takes place in May each year.

Prior to submitting your application through GrantsNT, it is recommended you read the grant guidelines, and if required, discuss your project with OMA by phoning (08) 8999 3894 or emailing TFHC.MulticulturalAffairs@nt.gov.au.

Grants of up to $1,000 are available for Harmony events under this grant.
